Like a bird she was wounded A prisoner he found He kept her beside him on the ground She wanted him to release her But he didn抰 want her to fly He had come to depend on seeing her cry He cut her wings But she could still sing He didn't see he could never stop her heart Just like in a cage he kept her But inside she grew strong And in some ways it was nice To have a place to belong But freedom called in it's own way Soft moonlit nights in her thoughts And the war raged on inside That she always fought Ah, the love that plays in the strangest ways She felt his warm embrace like fire inside her And when the day would break, it seemed Her heart would shake But she knew he had her soul at stake Like a bird she was wounded A prisoner he found But time was running out, he couldn't Keep her down So one day he released her Thinking that she wouldn't go But how she was able to fly Was something he'd never know
