"Caged Bird" lyrics - ALICIA KEYS

ALICIA KEYS
"Caged Bird"

Right now, I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and reverie
They don't know how I feel inside
Through my smile, I cry
They don't know what they're doing to me
Keeping me from flying
That's why I say that...

[Pre-Chorus:]
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free?

[Chorus:]
So she can fly, fly, fly
Spreading her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see

[Outro:]
She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh, just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty
