lyrics

You're such a pretty bird
But it's a pity bird
Your cage you have outgrown

But I know something bird
The time is right bird
To break these chains and go

And fly away
No
Fly away
No

The time is right bird
To take your flight bird
I know you're feeling caged

So just break free bird
Head for the sky bird
Your songs were made for the stage

And fly away
No
Fly away
No

Well your songs are fresh and new
And it's a shame that your cage has got a hold on you
And a coal mine is not the place for such a pretty face

So just get to it bird
You're on your own bird
The world is yours to tame

But don't you know it bird
That once you're free bird
You'll find you've just flown right into a bigger cage

Fly away
No
Fly away
No

Well your songs are fresh and new
And it's a shame that your cage has got a hold on you
And a coal mine is not the place for such a pretty face

Fly away
No
Fly away
No
