Mmmmmm Mmmmm
right now i feel like a bird
caged without a key
everyone comes to stare at me
with so much joy and revelry
they don't know how i feel inside
through my smile i cry
they don't know what they're doin to me
keeping me from flying
that's why i say that i know why the caged bird sings
only joy comes from song
she's so rare and beautiful to others
why not just set her free
so she can fly, fly, fly
spreading her wings and her song
let her fly, fly, fly
for the whole world to see
Mmmmm Mmmmm
she's like a caged bird
fly, fly
Ooh, shoulda let her fly, shoulda let her fly, shoulda let her fly
spread your wings, spread beauty
