The only view You've ever had -
Is from the inside out
Faith keeps telling You there's more
But You believe in doubt
Well I guess nobody told You -
How beautiful You are
'cos the door was always closed
when You got too far
They Tricked You into thinking
Both Your wings are clipped 'n'
You ain't ever seeing the sky
If You could see what I see
Maybe then You'd believe
The light You got will always rise
'cos there's a great big world outside
Oh, aint it time You fly ?
Life, it don't have to hurt
You don't have to be a caged bird
You don't have to carry
That weight on Your wings
And You don't have to silence
Every song You want to sing
And You can't even imagine
How strong You are
'n' the days all look the same to You
'cos You aint ever seen the stars
They Tricked You into thinking
That both Your wings are clipped 'n'
You ain't ever seeing the sky
If You could see what I see
Maybe then You'd believe
The light You got will always rise
'cos there's a great big world outside
Oh, aint it time You fly ?
Life, well it don't have to hurt
You don't have to be a caged bird
They Tricked You into thinking
Both Your wings are clipped 'n'
You ain't ever seeing the sky
But If You could see what I see
Maybe then You'd believe
The light You got will always rise
'cos there's a great big world outside
Oh, aint it time You fly ?
Life, it don't have to hurt
You don't have to be a caged bird
No, You don't have to be a caged bird
ooh
Oh
