The Caged Bird

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where you bear that heavy load
This is where the river meets the sea
This is where the fire burns within
This is where you fit in your own skin
This is where you get down on your knees

Ain’t nobody all alone we’re all made of flesh and bone
There’s one thing you’ve got to see
That no matter where you roam we’re all just heading home
One day we’ll all be free

This is where the ocean meets the sky
This is when you get the binds to tie
This is when the words you know are true
This is why the caged bird starts to sing
This is when the flatpick hits the strings
This is when there’s justice for me and you

Ain’t nobody all alone we’re all made of flesh and bone
There’s one thing you’ve got to see
That no matter where you roam we’re all just heading home
One day we’ll all be free

This is when the sun shines on the leaves
This is when the moss hangs on the eves
This is when the embers start to glow
This is when the light shines from within
This is when the whole world starts to spin
This is when you come and when you go

Ain’t nobody all alone we’re all made of flesh and bone
There’s one thing you’ve got to see
That no matter where you roam we’re all just heading home
One day we’ll all be free

Ain’t nobody all alone we’re all made of flesh and bone
There’s one thing you’ve got to see
That no matter where you roam we’re all just heading home
One day we’ll all be free
