Caged Bird - Julia Fordham

Silly I know I thought my undying belief

Could hold you up where you belong

Among the coveted and the favoured

And the shining strong

Maybe these arms although loyal through and through

Faltered for a single moment

Beneath the heavy burden of proof

And the look at me look at me

But no one was looking were they

I know why the caged bird sings

And it's not why you're thinking

I know why the caged bird sings

Sing sing sing sings

I think we can be forgiven for thinking

With any golden gift that's given

Come the trials and tribulations

For the learning

I know why the caged bird sings

And it's not why you're thinking

I know why the caged bird sings

Sing sing sing sings

Sings like an angel

Sings for a life but the living isn't easy

Sings for the freedom

Sings

I know why the caged bird sings

And it's not why you're thinking

I know why the caged bird sings

I know why the caged bird sings

And it's not why you're thinking

I know why the caged bird sings

Sing sing sing sings
