  1. Caged Bird's Song

From the recording First Flight 101

Share

The struggle becomes inherent when you love someone who does not know how to love themselves. You or they are the bird in the cage and there are many of you around.

Lyrics

She was a renegade from love
As mysterious as darkness
A masterpiece that refused to be the property of the artist

She knows every word to every caged bird’s song
When she whispers ‘hallelujah’
Even the old gods sing along
She can name every star in the night sky
The poets try to claim her lust and use her love as an alibi

When the sun rises to chase the darkness away
She gets lost for a moment as she lingers in between the night and day
When she sleeps she paints new worlds in her dreams
Some you might call beautiful but most of them could bring you to your knees
No She ain’t what she seems

When her mind drifts off, the world just feels too small
In her heart she feels everything, but she’ll tell you it’s nothing at all
When she falls, she wishes she could fly
But she’s a storm that won’t touch down
Until the time is right

And she dances the way the wildfire burns

Chaos and calm
Heartfelt and headstrong
She’s a natural disaster and a master of pretending nothing’s wrong

Where no one tries to tame her
And all the caged birds sing along
So darling do me just one favour
Teach me the words to your song
And I would try to get it right
Even if my timing’s all wrong
