Lyrics
Right now I feel like a bird
caged with (Gb)out a (F)key.
Ev ’ry one (Gb)comes to stare at me
with so much (Gb)joy and rev (F)er ie.
They don’t (Ab)know how I feel in side.
Through my (Ab)smile I cry.
They don’t (Ab)know what they’re do ing to me,
keep ing (Ab)me from
fly ing.
That’s why I say that I know (Gb)why the caged bird sings.
On ly joy comes from song.
She’s so rare and beau ti ful to oth ers.
Why not just set her free
so she can (Ab)fly,
(Gb)fly, fly,
spread ing her (Gb)wings and her (F)song?
Let her (Ab)fly,
(Gb)fly, fly,
the (Bbm)whole world
to see.
She’s like
a caged bird.
Fly, (Gb)fly.
Ooh, just let her (Ab)fly, just let her (Gb)fly, just let her (F)fly,
spread her (Gb)wings, spread beau ty,
mm.
