Bird in a Cage

Joel Shewmake

There’s a world out there & Baby I’d bring it to you piece by piece

But anymore I scared you’re looking for something That’s out of my reach

& I don’t want to keep lettin’ you down,

You ain’t made for staying on the ground

Chorus

What’s the good of having wings if you can’t fly,

You were born for bein’ in the sky

But you’re jealous of the clouds as they go rollin’ by

I can see it in your wild blue yonder eyes

So go on and do what you gotta do.

Goodbye ain’t but just a word or two,

Whats the good of having wings if you can’t fly

A bird in a cage don’t sing they cry.

VERSE 2
I’ll leave the front light on

Door unlocked & the window open

& I pray I hear your song,

All night long & then on through the mornin’.

Like a love sick lullaby

You know where I’m at if you ever change your mind.

Chorus

Bridge

What’s the good of having wings if you can’t cry

Why pick a flower knowin’ it’s gonna die

Chorus

What’s the good of having wings if you can’t fly,

You were born for bein’ in the sky

But you’re jealous of the clouds as they go rollin’ by

I can see it in your wild blue yonder eyes

So go on and do what you gotta do.

Goodbye ain’t but just a word or two,

Whats the good of having wings if you can’t fly

A bird in a cage don’t sing they cry.
