[Verse 1]
Brilliantly beautiful bird
Silver eyes on rusted bars
Feathers pressed to metal lines
Counting cracks like tiny stars
Painted sky on the concrete wall
Tracing clouds with a broken claw
[Chorus]
I was born for the midnight air
Not this cage
Not this chair
Clipped my wings but not my sky
In my head I still can fly
Round and round in this little room
But my heart runs past the moon
Brilliantly beautiful bird
That’s me
Dreaming of flying free
[Verse 2]
They say “quiet
This is safe”
Lock the door and dim the light
I stack wishes in my chest
Like suitcases for a someday flight
Every shiver of the window glass
Feels like wind that almost passed
[Bridge]
When the world is asleep
I unfold my hidden wings
Every breath is a leap
Every thought
A new springs
No
You can’t cage my sky tonight
I’m already out in the blue-black light
[Chorus]
I was born for the midnight air
Not this cage
Not this chair
Clipped my wings but not my sky
In my head I still can fly
Round and round in this little room
But my heart runs past the moon
Brilliantly beautiful bird
That’s me
Dreaming of flying free
