Could've been the sunshine,
Hold it in your hands.
Could've been the sunshine,
That you never had.

Cause I'm just a bird, ooh,
In a vanished cage.
If you're gonna let me down,
It's gonna be the hard way.

Could've been the sweet sound,
Ringin' in your ears.
Could've been the sweetest sound,
You forgot to listen.

Cause I'm just a bird, ooh,
In a vanished cage.
If you're gonna let me down,
It's gonna be the hard way.

Could've been another,
Tryin' to hold you now.
But I wont be the other clown,
Tryin' to make you happy.

Cause I'm just a bird, ooh,
In a vanished cage.
If you're gonna let me down,
It's gonna be the hard way.
