Turned a card and it told my fortune Sold me dreams and I guess I bought them Tell me what do you, want what do you want? When your lights goin' off Oh danger, she never comes with a warnin' I, I wanna spread my wings and fly Been behind these bars for time Maybe it was all just in my mind Caged bird It's time to put yourself first Free your mind and the sky is yours And it's all an illusion, let's burn this place down to ruins Caged bird When your shadow holds you And your mind controls you Just spread your wings 'cause this wind will carry you through, yea In and out, ups and downs but like the sun you'll be back around Fly lift your feet off the ground Caged bird It's time to put yourself first Free your mind and the sky is yours And it's all an illusion, let's burn this place down to ruins Caged bird I, I wanna spread my wings and fly Been behind these bars for time Maybe it was all just in my mind, aah Caged bird (yea) It's time to put yourself first Free your mind and the sky is yours And it's all an illusion, let's burn this place down to ruins Caged bird
