Bird In A Cage - Sugarland

It’s safe and quiet, all you’ve ever known

You didn’t choose it, but you call it home

You wouldn’t have these wings

If you weren’t meant to fly

It’s where you learn to sing

I’ll meet you on the outside

A bird in a cage

Don’t know that you were born to fly away

The world’s a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

It’s hard to explain

To a bird in a cage

You dreamed you heard a song

Outside the open door

They told you it was wrong

So you don’t dream no more

They tell you to believe

What they believe is right

Will you choose fight or flight?

For a bird in a cage

Don’t know that you were born to fly away

The world’s a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

It’s hard to explain

To a bird in a cage

Same hands that hold your prayer

Same hands that keep you there

You try to shift the blame

When there’s nowhere to put the pain but

Who you are is back behind it

And I believe that you can find it

When the dark feels like it’s darker

You’ve tried easy and I’ve tried harder to chase

You’re not a bird in a cage

You were born to fly away

The world’s a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

And you were never made

Are we all birds in a cage?

(birds in a cage)

Are we all born this way?

(are we born this way?)

We try not to think about it

What we would be without it

You were never made (you were never made)

To be a bird in a cage (to be a bird in a cage)

You were born to fly away

The world’s a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

And you were never made

To be a bird in a cage
