So high I am flying I don't want to come down
So long I've been soaring afraid of the ground
Every time I flap my wings the burden wears on me
Then I look where I have been, remember I am free
I don't mind breathing in air that's thin and cold
Suffocating in that cage, doing what I'm told
I take in everything and let it out through my tears
Just a bird who learned to fly while facing her fears
I've been on the ground I built a nest
A snake came took it all left me with the rest
My wings don't work like they used to, and I always feel so tired
I need a perch to take a rest so I can climb higher
I don't mind breathing in air that's thin and cold
Suffocating in that cage, doing what I'm told
I take in everything and let it out through my tears
Just a bird who learned to fly while facing her fears
I don't mind breathing in air that's thin and cold
Suffocating in that cage, doing what I'm told
I take in everything and let it out through my tears
Just a bird who learned to fly while facing her fears
