Bird in a Cage

The kids are growing up she's got time on her hands Time to rekindle old dreams and old plans The dream of a career the plan to get her there Long forgotten passions now starting to stir Theres a flight in her step theres a spring in her walk Uncomfortable silence now easy to talk She's learning to fly she taking the strains Spreading her wings she's breaking the chains SHe's changing her ways She's changing her view She's turning a page Like a bird in a cage She's learning a song that is new... So much she will see So much she will do She feels a little scared But hey have you heard I'm gonna fly from this cage... Sang the bird... The paint on the canvas still wet to the touch Drawings and paintings of which there is much Friction at home there's feelings of guilt The past is invested the future is built Now upwardly mobile she's chasing her dream Once socially barren now never unseen She's bending the bars of the cage that she's in Counting the gains she's fought so hard to win... SHe's changing her ways She's changing her view She's turning a page Like a bird in a cage She's learning a song that is new... So much she will see So much she will do She feels a little scared But hey have you heard I'm gonna fly from this cage... Sang the bird... I'm gonna fly from this cage... Sang the bird...
