We Are Birds

Do you know what I see
When I look into your velvet eyes
And when you ask
I will tell you what I see:
I see a bird in a chain in a cage
In the middle of nowhere.

We are birds now
But not every bird is free
What are we?

Toss and turn, force a smile
Then you look at me while laughing lightly
Like you do
But in your eyes, there's a cry
There's a cry 'cause your wings are like stone
And you can't fly away.

We are birds now
But not every bird is free
What are we?

That's absurd, the worst you've heard
But if you listen to the words
That I am speaking to you
And look around: you're not alone,
'Cause there are thousands like you
And we all want to break out of here.

We are birds now
But not every word is free
What are we?
