I am a caged bird
Singing for my souls sake
The sense of reality lost
Hope is only held within my dreams
My captor is relentless
Plugging their ears to my protests
Days are repetitive
Nights grow longer
My painted feathers pale
Blue skies and fresh air evade me
Oh let me free
So I can fly high above
To breathe again that fresh air
Fate is ever so cruel
I am a caged bird
Dying in this iron prison
