I see a candle flame in the wind Guttering and flickering Threatening to go out, threatening to die A little bird watched through his cage Bound and tied And he knows his soul is flickering the same way Another soul in captivity Another caged bird Another candle flame Flickering in the wind When will it ever stop? Here, little bird, your feet are untied Your cage doors are open Come on now, take flight I can see a little spark As you fly to your freedom Where you land, I will never know As I watch from this cage of mine Bound and tied I watch you fly so far I gave you freedom Knowing what its like to be Another candle flame Flickering in the wind Another candle flame Flickering in the wind

Candle Flame
I see a candle flame in the wind Guttering and flickering Threatening to go out, threatening to die A little bird watched through his cage Bound and tied And he knows his soul is flickering the same way Another soul in captivity Another caged bird Another candle flame Flickering in the wind When will it ever stop? Here, little bird, your feet are untied Your cage doors are open Come on now, take flight I can see a little spark As you fly to your freedom Where you land, I will never know As I watch from this cage of mine Bound and tied I watch you fly so far I gave you freedom Knowing what its like to be Another candle flame Flickering in the wind Another candle flame Flickering in the wind
