Put me in a cage,
and I'll fly away
Put me in an aquarium,
and I'll swim out to the seas
Put me in the wilderness,
and I'll find my way back home
I've had dreams
Many never came to reality
I have failed
with the world, have dropped it like a ball,
turned directions until I was dizzy
to try another and another and another
way that never seemed to work
But I cannot give up
and cannot find any more roads
in a cage,
an aquarium,
or the wilderness
God has not forsaken His children
though we may endures such places,
but I venture to say that He gives us
a way out of any snare
that man has designed
I've got a song in my heart
I've got a place to go
no matter how shut off the world can be
God gives me melody beyond measure
Yes, I can go on!
Yet I need not convince anyone
but myself of this truth
Although I nearly lost the will
to experience God's joys at all,
I boldy answer the challenging call,
spanning the skies
that once looked threatening,
swimming the ocean blue
that once engulfed me in fear
traveling through the wilderness
that seemed never ending
Yes, I trekked afoot far and wide
just to hear a pleasant voice again,
and to find mine
If you listen
you can hear what I say
with the stroke of my pen,
although you detect
not a sound
I've got a song in my heart
that will not go away
and keeps me
moving on
