[intro music]



Well I remembered to give you a heart

Filled with longing and desire to return to the start

I remembered to build you some wings

With the hope that they'd always carry you in



I remembered to color you fine

With all the colors of a greyscale weighed down with flight

I remembered to teach you to sing

At morning's light your voice was an offering



But I had forgotten the reason why

I made you only to set you free and watch you fly



Well I realized as I watched you one night

A song of a caged bird is a hope without season or sight

I realized as you sang up on stage

If you love something don't ever keep it in a cage



So I retrieved you from your cage on landlock love

And carried you out to where the evening sky bends down from above

And I released you into arms of open dawn

You were looked back then a silhouette then a teardrop then gone



Well I have forgiven but never forgot

The reason I caged you is the reason your lost



Well I'll never look back and ill never change

Ill never go back and be the same

And Ill never say it was the luck of the draw

Cause you leaving me was under love's law
