To the birds that sing in cages To the birds trying to sing in the dark While you watch the world in stages Taking piece after piece of your heart Beat back the night Tell it to leave you alone To the birds that sing in cages Hope in time you can find your way home Beat back the night Tell it to leave you alone To the birds that sing by the window To the birds being chased down the hall To the birds that should be in meadows Not trapped between ceilings and walls Fight your way out Back to the brambles you know To the birds that sing in cages Hope in time you can find your way home Hope in time you can fly you're way home
