Caged Bird

Silly I know, I thought my undying belief Could hold you up where you belong Among the coveted and the favoured And the shining strong Maybe these arms, although loyal through and through Faltered for a single moment Beneath the heavy burden of proof And the look at me, look at me But no-one was looking were they? I know why the caged bird sings (And it's not why you're thinking) I know why the caged bird sings Sing, sing, sing, sings I think we can be forgiven for knowing With every golden gift that's given Come the trials and tribulations For the learning I know why the caged bird sings (And it's not why you're thinking) I know why the caged bird sings Sing, sing, sing, sings Sings like an angel Sings for a life (but the living isn't easy) Sings for the freedom Sings I know why the caged bird sings (And it's not why you're thinking) I know why the caged bird sings Sing, sing, sing, sings I know why the caged bird sings (And it's not why you're thinking) I know why the caged bird sings Sing, sing, sing, sings
