Lyrics Caged Bird - Nashville Cast, Aubrey Peeples

Caged Bird

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
They tricked you into thinking
Both your wings are clipped
And you ain’t ever seen the sky
If you could see what I see
Maybe 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, 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 want to 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
They tricked you into thinking
Both your wings are clipped
And you ain’t ever seen the sky
If you could see what I see
Maybe 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, it don’t have to hurt
You don’t have to be a caged bird
They tricked you into thinking
Both your wings are clipped
And you ain’t ever seen the sky
But if you could see what I see
Maybe 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, it don’t have to hurt
You don’t have to be a caged bird
No, you don’t have to be a caged bird
