[intro music] Well I remembered to give you a heart Filled with longing and desire to return to the start I remembered to build you some wings With the hope that they’d always carry you in I remembered to color you fine With all the colors of a greyscale weighed down with flight I remembered to teach you to sing At morning’s light your voice was an offering But I had forgotten the reason why I made you only to set you free and watch you fly Well I realized as I watched you one night A song of a caged bird is a hope without season or sight I realized as you sang up on stage If you love something don't ever keep it in a cage So I retrieved you from your cage on landlock love And carried you out to where the evening sky bends down from above And I released you into arms of open dawn You were looked back then a silhouette then a teardrop then gone Well I have forgiven but never forgot The reason I caged you is the reason your lost Well I’ll never look back and ill never change Ill never go back and be the same And Ill never say it was the luck of the draw Cause you leaving me was under love’s law
