Birdcage

(album: Kicking Up The Dust - 2017)

And when the winter sun hangs low
You feel it's time you've got to go
With heavy heart you say goodbye
And I hope someday, I hope someday our ships sail by
And like that bird that's in a cage
It has no means it can escape
So it fills it heart to sing a song
And I hope someday, someday you will sing along

If you really want it and you really need it
Won't you come and get it, won't you come and get it
Now you know you want it and you say you need it
Won't you come and get it, won't you come and get it
Everything in between heaven and hell
Every choice that you make, every bond that you break
And if you don't believe that the world that you want
Is waiting for you, then what can I do

Overhead the birds do fly
Heading south across the winter sky
And though I'm leaving you today
I'll be heading, heading back to you someday
You built a prison in your heart
But the cage it fell and broke apart
And freed that bird to spread its wings
And I hope someday, I hope someday to hear it sing

If you really want it and you really need it
Won't you come and get it, won't you come and get it
Now you know you want it and you say you need it
Won't you come and get it, won't you come and get it
Everything in between heaven and hell
Every choice that you make, every bond that you break
And if you don't believe that the world that you want
Is waiting for you, then what can I do
Everything in between heaven and hell
Every choice that you make, every bond that you break
And if you don't believe that the world that you want
Is waiting for you, then what can I do

Everything in between heaven and hell
Every choice that you make, every bond that you break
And if you don't believe that the world that you want
Is waiting for you, then what can I do
Everything in between heaven and hell
Every choice that you make, every bond that you break
And if you don't believe that the world that you want
Is waiting for you, then what can I do

Everything in between heaven and hell
Every choice that you make, every bond that you break
And if you don't believe that the world that you want
Is waiting for you, then what can I do
Everything in between heaven and hell
Every choice that you make, every bond that you break
And if you don't believe that the world that you want
Is waiting for you, then what can I do
Everything in between heaven and hell
