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.
