Dm
How could a bird so free
return to her cage without protest?

The caged bird still sings and

I dont know, I dont know how
When she remembers everything

Am
Can you hear me in a sea of voices?
C
Can i hear me in my own head, I
Dm F
hear the ghosts, the shadows of my choices drowning in my
words unsaid
Am
I promise, I promise, from this day forward
C
I will be a better me, I

F
Remembering how to be free
