Bird Set Free - Keala Settle

Clipped wings, I was a broken thing

Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing

You’d worn me down

I struggled on the ground

So lost, the line had been crossed

Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk

You held me down

I struggle to fly now

But there’s a scream inside that we all try to hide

We hold on so tight, but we cannot deny

Eats us alive, it eats us alive

Yes, there’s a scream inside that we all try to hide

We hold on so tight, but I don’t wanna die, no

I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die

And I don’t care if I sing off key

I found myself in my melodies

I sing for love, I sing for me

I shout it out like a bird set free

No, I don’t care if I sing off key

I found myself in my melodies

I sing for love, I sing for me

I’ll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I’ll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I’ll shout it out like a bird set free

Now I fly, hit the high notes

I have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight

You held me down, but I fought back loud, oh

And there’s a scream inside that we all try to hide

We hold on so tight, but we cannot deny

Eats us alive, oh, it eats us alive, oh

Yes, there’s a scream inside that we all try to hide

We hold on so tight, but I don’t wanna die, no

I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die, yeah

And I don’t care if I sing off key

I found myself in my melodies

I sing for love, I sing for me

I shout it out like a bird set free

No, I don’t care if I sing off key

I found myself in my melodies

I sing for love, I sing for me

I’ll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I’ll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I’ll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I’ll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I’ll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I’ll shout it out like a bird set free
