Caged Birds
Four things about me, one by one
Please don't forget forget again
When memories fade in the desert sun
This isn't the end, beautiful friend
(One) Did you know I'm from the earth
And what's from the earth
Is of no worth
But my roots grow deep
As my petals dry
And my leaves are bruised
(Two) Did you know that I'm from the sky
Look up to me to find
Cloud dreams roll by
Keep your eyes up high
And don't look down
Nightmares below
Nightmares below
By and by caged birds forget why they have wings
So stories of flight they sing
To see the dawn again
By and by caged birds forget why they have wings
So stories of flight they sing to each other
Healing by song
To see the dawn again
(Three) And I came from the deep blue sea
The moon pulled me
With the tide
And when I reached the shore
The sun dried me
Until I couldn't see
(Four) Lastly I was born of fire
Armies can't deprive
My hearts desire
But you are my sister
And you are my brother
We are of the same
Don't forget your name
By and by caged birds forget why they have wings
So stories of flight they sing
To see the dawn again
By and by caged birds forget why they have wings
So stories of flight they sing to each other
Healing by song
To see the dawn again
Four things about us one by one
Please don't forget forget again
When memories fade in the desert sun
Know this isn't the end, beautiful friend
Please don't forget forget again
When memories fade in the desert sun
This isn't the end, beautiful friend
(One) Did you know I'm from the earth
And what's from the earth
Is of no worth
But my roots grow deep
As my petals dry
And my leaves are bruised
(Two) Did you know that I'm from the sky
Look up to me to find
Cloud dreams roll by
Keep your eyes up high
And don't look down
Nightmares below
Nightmares below
By and by caged birds forget why they have wings
So stories of flight they sing
To see the dawn again
By and by caged birds forget why they have wings
So stories of flight they sing to each other
Healing by song
To see the dawn again
(Three) And I came from the deep blue sea
The moon pulled me
With the tide
And when I reached the shore
The sun dried me
Until I couldn't see
(Four) Lastly I was born of fire
Armies can't deprive
My hearts desire
But you are my sister
And you are my brother
We are of the same
Don't forget your name
By and by caged birds forget why they have wings
So stories of flight they sing
To see the dawn again
By and by caged birds forget why they have wings
So stories of flight they sing to each other
Healing by song
To see the dawn again
Four things about us one by one
Please don't forget forget again
When memories fade in the desert sun
Know this isn't the end, beautiful friend
