I grew up being told I was meant to be
Seen and not heard
There wasn't enough space for me
My art, or my words
I didn't take up space I didn't
Think I deserved
So quietly I kept caged in me
My inner songbird
But quiet as I've been kept I know
I'm meant to make sounds
I've conjured up some bravery and
Look at this voice I found
Steady as a mother tree
Rooted into the ground
Here I will stand on this land
To which I am bound
And I know
If there's a place for them
Then there's a place for me
And I'll find it
I'll find it
I am everything that I need
Now I'm singing out loud
I'm singing out strong
Me and that songbird
We are uncaged now
We'll sing proudly
Sing proudly
Our birdsong
Birdsong
Let the wind carry it out
From the top of a tree
I've got a lot to say, and I'm not afraid
Cuz I feel the earth supporting me
Oooh
I've been playing concerts in the
Forest for trees
Been talking to the moss and watching
The falling leaves
I found that the only one who
Doesn't believe
In me
Is me
Is me
Been listening to the flowers
Sing me wind songs
Accompanied by the bugs and birds
My heartbeat on drums
And through the music I discovered
We are all one
We are one
Now I'm singing out loud
I'm singing out strong
Me and that songbird
We are uncaged now
We'll sing proudly
Sing proudly
Our birdsong
Birdsong
Let the wind carry it out
From the top of a tree
I've got a lot to say, and I'm not afraid
Cuz I feel the earth supporting me
Oooh
