Free *bouncing Off of Alicia Keys' Caged Bird*
I've made so many promises
and lost so much time
everyday is a constant struggle
and I'm tired of the hustle
don't know how much longer I can last
stifled in the present while my dreams are fading fast
cause now I know why the caged bird sings
freedom and redemption songs
it's her only solitude
trying to survive a future so cold & dark
so I carry my dreams like she carries her song
snuggled deep inside my heart
praying for God to release me
from those who hold the key
so the world can finally see...me...
spread my wings and fly
soaring high through heavenly skies
creating my own destiny.
