Somebody Wants to Fly

Never wanted to be a bird
scared to fall from such great heights
Don't you know Icarus fell?
And, now trying to escape won't work.

It's painful to be a sparrow
when songs don't come easy.
I should know, my wax wings
never cooled from the heat.

And, there's a song in all of this.
Something about life in a cage
and the monsters behind the bars
might just be you.

Nothing like falling to let you know
you're human and gonna rise again
like getting love from a stone,
you'll never get farther than that.

So, sing about your blackbirds.
Somebody wants to fly.
