Verse 1
Bb
Eb
This is the story of a wingless bird.
Bb
Gm
She lived with three ordinary birds
Eb
Bb
and theirs high on their perch.
Bb
Eb
Bb
they'd seen and they'd heard.
The cage was their prison,
Eb
Bb
freedom was their fate
Eb
Bb
as the oth ers' plans were made
One day the cage was open,
Eb
Bb
the first bird escaped
Eb
Bb
Till he was caught, his dreams betrayed
Gm
Bb
That was the end of the first
Eb
Bb
bird's escapade
Bb
Eb
Bb
how in this day and age
Bb
Eb
Bb
like birds in a cage
The second bird waited till
Eb
Bb
the mo ment was right
Bb
Eb
Bb
and into the night
Into the wide open sky,
Eb
Bb
oh the sweet gift of flight
Bb
Eb
Bb
oh follow me I'll be your guide
Eb
Bb
broke his wings and his pride
The third bird he watched
Eb
Bb
as this all went on
Eb
Bb
I'll stay here but I'm gone
So his body remained,
Eb
Bb
but his heart was withdrawn
Gm
Bb
He just sat on his perch,
Eb
Bb
and he nev er sang his song
Bb
Eb
Bb
how in this day and age
Bb
Eb
Bb
like birds in a cage
The cats knocked the lid
Eb
Bb
off the cage last night
Bb
Eb
Bb
the others died of fright
Except for the wingless one,
Eb
Bb
she was alright
Bb
Eb
though she knew she couldn't fly,
Bb
couldn't fight
Eb
Bb
and stayed out of sight
The fourth bird, the wingless bird,
Eb
Bb
nev er tried to flee
Bb
Eb
Bb
was all that she'd ever see
Eb
Bb
Eb
how in this day and age
Bb
Gm
We rail against our lives
Eb
Gm
like we're birds in a cage
I'm a wingless bird,
Eb
Bb
that's all I'll ever be
Cm
Bb
Eb
Bb
but they'll nev er find me
Gm
Eb
Cause I may live in this cage
Bb
Eb
But my soul flies free
