Caged Dreams

Caged Dreams 1. You keep us in cages, Thinking we are slaves, But a day will come, When we will escape. 2. We look up from our cages, Longing to be free— As free as the birds That soar through the skies. 3. You think us foolish, You think us weak, But a day will come When you will regret— Regret every cruel word That spills from your lips. 4. You sold us like cattle, Took us from our homes. We look up from our cages, Dreaming of freedom, Yearning to live our lives. 5. You clip our wings, Lock us away, So we cannot fly, Cannot touch the sky. 6. We live in despair, We live in pain, We live in fear, Of what comes next. Some of us even pray For death to come. 7. You took our children, Our lands, our resources, Leaving us with nowhere To call home. 8. You fear what we'll do, Once freed from these cages. We may be bound, But our hope still burns— Like a flame, untamed. 9. We will reclaim our lands, We will reclaim our freedom, We will take back all That was stolen from us. 10. We are strong, We are bold, We will fight on— Until the very end.
