Common - Caged Bird

Right now I feel like bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
So much joy and revelry

They don't know how I feel inside
Through my smile, I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free

So she can fly, fly, fly
Spreading her wings and her song
Let her fly, fly, fly
For the whole world
To see

Hmm
Hey, hey, ooh
She's a like a caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread her wings
Spread her beauty
Hmm
