Caged Bird - Nashville Cast

The only view you've ever had is from the inside out.
Faith keeps telling you there's more but you believe in doubt.
Well I guess nobody told you how beautiful you are, 'cause the door was always closed when you got too far.

That tricked you into thinking
both your wings are clipped and you ain't never seeing the sky.
If you could see what I see, baby then you'd believe the light you got will always rise.
'Cause there's a great big world outside, oh ain't it time you fly.
Life, well it don't have to hurt.
You don't have to be a caged bird.

You don't have to carry that weight on your wings,
and you don't have to silence every song you wanna sing.
And you can't even imagine how strong you are.
And the days all look the same to you 'cause you ain't seen the stars.

That tricked you into thinking
both your wings are clipped and you ain't never seeing the sky.
If you could see what I see, baby then you'd believe the light you got will always rise.
'Cause there's a great big world outside, oh ain't it time you fly.
Life, well it don't have to hurt.
You don't have to be a caged bird.

Oh oh la la la oh oh la la la

That tricked you into thinking
both your wings are clipped and you ain't never seeing the sky.
But if you could see what I see, baby then you'd believe the light you got will always rise.
'Cause there's a great big world outside, oh ain't it time you fly.
Life, well it don't have to hurt.
You don't have to be a caged bird.(x2)
