You think you are a bird in a cage
And you are trapped in a past
Of black and white
Of no meaning, of doubting
yourself and life
You imprison yourself by thoughts
And behind bars
You look at the world
You observe but you’d like to join
You long to fly
But you think you can never make it far
But the other day I saw you dancing
under a tree,
Like a child playing in the fields
With music in your ears
And a song on your heart
Your heart is strong enough
to break free
Birds are meant to fly
It longs for the clear blue sky
To feel the wind, to feel alive
It longs for new horizons
To leave the past
and its cage behind
And I know it longs for me
