(Verse 1)
Im sick and tired of life passing me by
Im chained down by those too scared to live
They clip my wings and tell me how high to fly
I need to soar and feel the wind on my skin
The world is open and I long to be free
Give me the space to spread my wings
Im a caged bird craving liberty
Ill break the bonds and Ill fly on home.
I can be who I want to be
I can do what I want to do
(Chorus)
Say it
Shout it
Be it
Do it
Stand up
Show it
See it
Dream it
Give it everything that you can.
Live it
Feel it
Spend it
Waste it
Give in
Give up
Get out
If youre tired of living life in the wings.
(Verse 2)
No sense in being the reluctant child
Ive had enough of playing the saint
The perfect picture of modest and mild
Id get in line but Im too far across
I can be who I want to be
I can do what I want to do
(Chorus)
Say it
Shout it
Be it
Do it
Stand up
Show it
See it
Dream it
Give it everything that you can.
Live it
Feel it
Spend it
Waste it
Give in
Give up
Get out
If youre tired of living life in the wings.
(Bridge)
The time has come
and Im ready to take the leap
The musics playing
and my heart can feel the beat
Im climbing higher than I ever thought I would
The dream is real
And Im standing on my own two feet.
(Chorus x 2)
