A bird in a cage cannot fly

The bird in the cage cannot fly free
It can only dream and look out the window
Does the owner ever let them out

Can a caged bird only sing
Only wish for a small moment of freedom
Does anyone hear it cry

Why are we caged
Why cannot we be free
Did we do something wrong
Is this our punishment
To be caged like birds

Because we dream or want
To crave and need
Is it wrong
To want something more 
Than the cage we live in

The same steal bars with no escape
The same window with no opening
The voices telling us we can't
Is that what we are for
To be told we can't

Is it okay to be told we are not good enough
That we haven't got a place
No matter how hard we try
Because we are different

A caged bird Cannot fly
A Angel cannot fly either with broken wings
My wings are black and broken
Chained to the ground inside a cage

I cannot fly
With broken wings
It the end of me
