James Lee - Birds in the Cage Lyrics

Live our life where everything is so cruel
Born with nothing that could buy me some fuel
Struggle down to make things seem okay, when all things are at stake

Act like slaves that work for masters on top
Those who have it all but don't seem to stop
Keeping up as parts of world's big machine, in the master's big scheme
Could we be so sure, of living in a life that wanted to be?
Could we fly away, from living in a life we're born to believe?

Why why, locked up like birds in the cage
How how, could we be free on our own
Why why, locked up ourselves in the pain
How how, could we find out that we're wrong?

Birds in the cage

Hurt ourselves much in the chase for our greed
We just can't get our minds off things that we need
Feel no choice but keep things all so secure, we know nothing's so pure

Could we be so sure, of living in a life that wanted to be?
Could we fly away, from living in a life we're born to believe?

Why why, locked up like birds in the cage
How how, could we be free on our own
Why why, locked up ourselves in the pain
How how, could we find out that we're wrong?

Time to fix things that came wrong, we knew it should have been all along
It's time to break the leashes we hold on
Let the birds roll out and fly, into the freedom wild in the sky
That's why they're really born to live alive

Could we be so sure, of living in a life that wanted to be?
Could we fly away, from living in a life we're born to believe?

Why why, locked up like birds in the cage
How how, could we be free on our own
Why why, locked up ourselves in the pain
How how, could we find out that we're wrong?

Birds in the cage
Birds in the cage
