Lyrics
Ooh Ooh Ooh I see you, pretty bird in a cage Do you fly high in the sky? No, you're caged And I see you, pretty bird in a cage You say you don't understand Well, it's quite normal For one of your elegant breeding To be chosen to slave for human eyes Pretty bird, don't you see That if only you were ordinary You too could be free? Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now Your owner offers you protection Provides a cell and food every day Now, careful, pretty bird Don't you spread your wings too wide You were meant to be free But you may never, never Never go outside Ooh I hear you, pretty bird in a cage Now, do you wish to be you Or just a sparrow? Just a simple sparrow? Now, do you understand He's worthless as the sand But free as the breeze? And he goes where he pleases Oh, pretty bird, don't you see That if only you were ordinary You too could be free? Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now Ooh Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now Ooh Pretty bird, yeah You've got to fly to your freedom now Ooh Oh, pretty bird Fly to your— Fly to your freedom now Ooh Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now Ooh Pretty bird
