Little bird you never knew a cage

Free to fly with my love behind your wings

You got lost and I got word from them

Break your heart in two or you'll never see your little bird again



Why oh why would you fly so far away from here

Captive to the very thing that free birds fear

A prisoner of the very thing you chase

But they won't let you love yourself enough

To help you get away



Little bird I loved to hear you sing

I wanted everyone to know the joy my soul was feeling

Someone in a crowd planted a bad bad seed

"you're too good for one love, fly away with me"



Why oh why would you fly so far away from here

Captive to the very thing that free birds fear

A prisoner of the very thing you chase

But they won't let you love yourself enough

To help you get away



You will fly from cage to cage

Looking for the love that you denied

But you won't recognize me when you light the stage

They'll catch you in mid-flight and lock you away



Why oh why would you fly so far away from here

Captive to the very thing that free birds fear

A prisoner of the very thing you chase

But they won't let you love yourself enough

To help you get away



You life is not a stage

And my love you'll never find in a cage



Oh why

Oh why would you fly so far away from here

Captive to the very thing that free birds fear

A prisoner of the very thing you chase

But they won't let you love yourself enough

To help you get away
