She's a little song bird trapped in a cage Made of flesh, made of blood, made of bone She feels so alone She watches those eagles sore high across the sky Spread their wings, take a leap, take a chance Find romance
Why can't everything be as easy as they say it is? Why can't she just take a home a piece of gold treasure that shines only for her?
The world tells us that anyone can fly Don't shoot the messenger, but we know that's a lie Break the chains of denial and accept it for what it is She was born in that cage, she'll make her own happiness
A hummingbird passed by her window, free as the wind It was lost, sang a song, felt okay Then just... Flew away She had never felt more alone so broke down and cried Laid still, cuddled up, to herself She needed help
Another bird came by her window, an eagle the colour of gold Made of bone, made of blood, made of flesh He stared at her and began to confess..
The world tells you that you will never fly Hey I'm here to say, that sure is a great big lie I'll tuck you under my wings and take you high above the stars I've always admired you, even from afar
She was a little songbird trapped in a cage Made of flesh, made of blood, made of bone With happiness she could call her own
