Julia Fordham - Caged Bird lyrics

Could hold you up where you belong

Among the coveted and the favoured

And the shining strong

Maybe these arms, although loyal through and through

Faltered for a single moment

Beneath the heavy burden of proof

And the look at me, look at me

But no-one was looking were they?

I know why the caged bird sings

(And it's not why you're thinking)

I know why the caged bird sings

Sing, sing, sing, sings

I think we can be forgiven for knowing

With every golden gift that's given

Come the trials and tribulations

For the learning

I know why the caged bird sings

(And it's not why you're thinking)

I know why the caged bird sings

Sing, sing, sing, sings

Sings like an angel

Sings for a life (but the living isn't easy)

Sings for the freedom

Sings

I know why the caged bird sings

(And it's not why you're thinking)

I know why the caged bird sings

Sing, sing, sing, sings

I know why the caged bird sings

(And it's not why you're thinking)

I know why the caged bird sings

Sing, sing, sing, sings
