YOU CAIN'T CAGE A BIRD Video (MV)






Temperance Lancecouncil - YOU CAIN'T CAGE A BIRD Lyrics




Look at the pretty bird
Sings exotical words
Ever so pretty sound
Even perched on the ground
And when you pick it up
Even when you dress it up
Tweety in a saucer cup
Still a disaster struck
The pieces broke away
When 'Pretty' didn't get its way
Couldn't wait for freedom day
Just to fly away
You cain't make it stay
Broken wings still get away
Still broken again today
So let it fly away

Cause you cain't cage a bird
When it just wanna be heard
You cain't cage a bird
So let it fly away

Older man with means
New bird on the scene
Just an innocent shade of green
From its mama's nest
Striding down the street
Pretty bird ain't had enough to eat
Hunger tweet, tweet, tweet
But it's filled with pride
And a juvenile stride

In comes big, man boss
With his millions, he does toss
Carriage and a castle high
Still pretty bird cries

Why would you clip its wings?
When 'Pretty' just wants to sing
That won't the thing to do
Making pretty bird blue

Cause you cain't cage a bird
When it just wanna be heard
You cain't cage a bird
So let it fly away

It never ventured out
Never knew what freedom's about
Hearing 'Pretty's' soprano shout
And your ears tuned out
Now you got no say
Sign the paper
It's freedom day
Free and legal to fly and play
A new birthday

And it's gonna fly
Up to the sky
Real, real high

Cause you cain't cage a bird
When it just wanna be heard
Now why cain't you be a friend
And let the fairy-tale end
