Bird in a Cage Lyrics

I was a bird in a cage
I sang for freedom
I sang to escape
So I set that bird ablaze
I watched as I rose
Above the flames

So high, high
I rise, rise

Out of the darkness into the light
I shine like the stars burning holes in the sky
Oh I always dreamed
Of being released I soar through the air now
With the greatest of ease

So high, high,
I rise, rise

Oh tonight
These bars turn to wind chimes
That echo out of my windpipe
As I sing from such great heights

I was a bird in a cage
I sang for freedom
I sang to escape
So I set that bird ablaze
I watched as I rose
Above the flames

So high, high
I rise, rise
So high, high
I fly, fly

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
