stretch your wings
try to fly
trapped in a cage
and you don’t know why

he sees your beauty
and not your desires
you are flying
too close to the fire

your scorched wings
tell of a life
where freedom was taken
by pain and strife

little birdie
if you only knew
that deep inside
I live a life like you

angry words
were tossed my way
and left my soul
with no place to stay

soon I’ll fly
out of this cage
come, join me
where life has no wage
