GOLDEN CAGE WIDE OPEN

I just opened the cage and waited
It won’t fly out right away
It will turn once and once again until finding
Freedom is a choice that has to be made.

I just opened the cage and waited
It won’t fly out right away
Delicate young feathers, you can make it
I trust your judgment without despair.

I just opened the cage and waited
It won’t fly out right away
With tearing eyes that show just fear
Freedom can be painful, I know that well.

I just opened the cage and waited
It won’t fly out right away
It will take sometime but finally leaving
Leaving me staring to an empty cage.
