Hmm, yeah Have you ever heard a caged bird sing? There’s a time and a place for everything, woo woo And do you believe in the joy it brings? When your eyes are open and you can see everything That’s around you Separating friends from foes Taking dangerous blows Learning from life as you grow Yo, do you believe me? And however rough it may seem It is not a far-fetched dream And I know (I know) Dreadlock will be coming in And however rough it may seem It is not a far-fetched dream And I know (I know) Blessings will be flowing like a steam Have you ever heard a caged bird sing? There’s a time and a place for everything Do you believe me, yeah? Just open up your eyes and look within There’s a time and a place for everything Or you could believe me I searched for freedom the gate word sings I wanna hear the freedom bell ring Until that day uh there will be no peace, oh no Battles rage over land and seas Fighting soldiers with desperate needs As children play upon a land Filled with cluster bombs, lord Have you ever heard a caged bird sing? There’s a time and a place for everything, yo Can you hear me, yeah? Just open up your eyes take a look within There’s a time and a place for everything, yo Do you hear me?
