Lyrics

Intro (Ayla) Sail away — I have not called for nothin,' I have not called for nothin' this way — and from these bars I'm leadin', into the arms of freedom Damn I need something break me out of this shell Damn I need an angel lift me outta my hell The world looks pale whenever I can't create It's romance... I dance with ideas that I take to the very edge of reason til they're left barely breathing Don't wanna fall across that line, but I'm leaning There's gotta be something more fulfilling There's gotta be a place that isn't based on being laced up with millions Feels like every single breath we're taking is commodified My mind is full of shit I seem to think I oughta buy... And these are just some words from a caged bird... whose wings remain strong My flight is my song I hope to bring you along to sift through clouds And hover bout a mile above a world gone wild And maybe not descend until we reach the earth's end If the harmony we seek ain't found We'll fly again (Mr. Lif) Now I understand why the caged bird sings The melody can help em see the beauty in things Now I understand all the caged bird's thoughts The melody's essentially the key to the lock Now I understand why the caged bird sings The melody can help em see the beauty in things Now I understand all the caged bird's thoughts The melody's essentially the key to the lock (Ayla) Sail away — I have not called for nothin,' I have not called for nothin' this way — and from these bars I'm leadin', into the arms of freedom Look man, I'm out here struggling Cause the pressures of the world are so troubling I take a look in the mirror and I see my harsh truths I try to put my finer qualities to good use I identify myself and try to live my own truth I know I'm on a path, but sometimes a need proof A sign or a hint Please throw me a bone... Words are my oasis Songs are my embraces These are the tender moments where hopes float across oceans Seas part and avenues open The tangled web... is curious with an angled head It speaks the various words that anger said My levelheadedness may be my greatest asset As I shuffle cards to wriggle from this widely cast net Are you hearing my song? See my wingspan widen? I'm tryin' A leap of faith to keep flying (Ayla) Wings clipped, tied tip to toe, stalking, walking 'long the edges you were grown with Shown this, told the mold was a permanent form, but your heart wouldn't hold this Roll the dice, melt the ice - it is a furious thing when the illusion dies Eyes wide, open to be chosen by a life you will not choose to be caged by In the call, in the stalling feet dug deep, heels hold to the memory of what's Known, shown to be, and though it is comfort it is not home you see This dare is a deep one A step off the edge and just jump one A voice is a song if you use it The fall is a flight if you choose it (Mr. Lif) Now I understand why the caged bird sings The melody can help 'em see the beauty in things Now I understand all the caged bird's thoughts The melody's essentially the key to the lock Now I understand why the caged bird sings The melody can help 'em see the beauty in things Now I understand all the caged bird's thoughts The melody's essentially the key to the lock (Ayla) Sail away — I have not called for nothin,' I have not called for nothin' this way — and from these bars I'm leadin', into the arms of freedom
