Trapped like a rat
I was caught, that’s a fact
I pace this cell
Four square foot of hell

I eat their food
Although it ain’t no good
I mark the days
With a crayon I've saved

I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That is all

Now freedom for most
Is just a word like toast
But you take it away
You gon’ learn to say

I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That is all

Here it come now

I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That’s all

Now freedom for most
Is just a word like toast
But you take it away
You gon’ learn to say

I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That is all

I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That is all
