Caged Bird

I wish to fly out and about
Spreading my wings
Soaring in the seamless sky
I will be free

I wish to escape this
Dreary, dungeon of a cage
That keeps me in
Like a princess in her castle
I will be free

I wish to explore the unknown
That drives the weak into
Their cage
I will be free

I wish to break loose
From the bounds that
Bind me
I will be free

I wish to get away
From this show
That I have become
I will be free

I wish to flee
The cage that has
Silenced my every thought
I will be free

I wish to regain
The time that I have
Lost day after day
I will be free

I wish that one day
I will see something else besides
Just the sunrise and sunset
I will be free

I wish that as I watch
From the cage that surrounds me
One day
I will be free
