Sometimes a caged bird sings
Not just for singing's sake
But for the hope it brings
Never knowing flight, he lets music be his wings
Maybe sometimes, a caged bird sings
Come out, come out, darling
From under your fears
Come out, come out, darling
It's been too many years
Sometimes a freed bird stays
Swallows freedom's key and sits inside a cage
The door is open wide
Still he sits safely perched inside
And sometimes a freed bird stays
Come out, come out, darling
From under your fears
Come out, come out, darling
It's been too many years
Good god, good grief
Would you look at those tears?
Come out, come out
Come out, come out
Come out, come out, darling
Come out, come out
Come out, come out, darling
Come out, come out
Come out, come out
Sometimes a grown man cries
To grieve the years he spent believing lies
He sees more clearly now through tears in his eyes
Maybe sometimes, baby, sometimes
