On Top The Cage Lyrics

I look out below me the clouds on top the blue
Kid's thinking about nothing, cause there's absolutely nothing to do
The door ain't wide just open, open to the sky
On top the cage keep hopin, sayin cause on top the cage just try, on top da cage

Help out your brother to the light at peace is a helping hand
With help from our mother we shine so bright and march to the father's land
I said we take the spot and we take it up top and the key fits in the lock
You come with me on this lifting walk, and you know you never come back
Because on top the cage is the harmony that bars and chains never chime
Wherever we go it's not far for me, better befriend old man time.

I stood on top of this cage one night, all night long
From here the view was proud
I could see all these beautiful clouds
So I told people come out of your cage
Time to break lock forever
Join together march on top hold my hand, say goodbye to never
You can be my man if you want to hang out here
Just me my girl on top of this world and we sit there and we stare
At the clouds, green hills, and the mountaintops, and the river to the side
You can come too, if you want, you don't have to hide.

To me this song is about rising above outside influences and social chains to be what you really want to be no matter what anyone else says or wants for you.

i think this song is about racism. how it doesnt matter wut color you are. or it can lead to other things like it doesnt matter wut you look like or wut you wear. as long as your happy with yourself and it doesnt matter what people think. and also how you should rise above other influences and get away from it all

it is about racism, its about standing on "top this cage" with everyone fighting below him, him looking up at the beauty around him and all the hatred below him

"they try to feed you all these races they try to feed you all these sexes and these creeds don't mean a thing because we all are one under that great sun you must understand my hand is the same as the next and your neighbor right next to you, he feels the same in his chest"

this is from the any time now version. so definitely a song against racism, and just any kind of prejudice really. love it
