Bird in a Cage

All your hopes and all your dreams
Have blown away in the lightest breeze
All your hates and all your fears
Carry them away over stormy seas

Oh my darling, oh my dear
Theres a chance here for you to seize
And I'd rather watch you disappear
Than stay with me and stagnate here

Like a bonsai tree clipped down to size
This place will force you to compromise
Like a songbird stuck in a cage
You've got no reason to sing in this place
Like a pretty little fish stunted by a bowl
I know you need to be free to be whole

I know I can't keep the heart I stole
I understand that you need to go

Oh my darling, oh my dear
Theres a chance here for you to seize
And I'd rather watch you disappear
Than stay with me and stagnate here

Like a bonsai tree clipped down to size
This place will force you to compromise
Like a songbird stuck in a cage
You've got no reason to sing in this place
Like a pretty little fish stunted by a bowl
I know you need to be free to be whole
