Like a Bird in a Cage with an Open Door

Run for cover, the war is waged
We're weighed to err, we're trapped and caged
For years, enslaved by fear, unrest
Like birds in cages, we're so oppressed

We're used to limits, locks, and bars
Forgetting about the moon and stars
And when the cage is left unlocked
And when the door has not been blocked

Our chance to leave has finally come
Our hearts start beating like a drum
Escape to freedom, we fear unknown
And so our chance is close to blown

To taste the air, to feel the sky
Or to be still with lifeless eyes
Our hope for joy is surely gone
Bound to this cage, this must be wrong
