little bird

holding on holding on tight to hopes to dreams to yourself the world pulls at you pulls at you tight tries to mold you conform you remake you keep you locked up tight keep you holding on tight keep you waiting all night the horizon it always seems like far off dreams don't go off into the night don't step away from the light where everyone can see you sing for us, little songbird you've nowhere else to go fly as you might we've already clipped your wings dance the dance we made for you sing the song we wrote for you you have it all laid out for you now follow each and every rule we'll show you visions visions of a perfect place always just out of reach isn't that a pity? wake up there's no time to waste you're on our time now make the most of things, will you? sing for us make use of yourself without your voice what good are you to us? the cage is to keep you safe you have your every need tended to why do you still dream of flying away? it's dangerous out there the world is cruel you're safe here all alone in your little cage
