I see you, pretty bird in a cage 
Do you fly high in the sky?
No, you're caged
And I see you, pretty bird in a cage
You say you don't understand
Well, it's quite normal For one of your elegant breeding
To be chosen to slave for human eyes
Pretty bird, don't you see That if only you were ordinary
You too could be free?

Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now
Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now

Your owner offers you protection. Provides a cell and food every day
Now, careful, pretty bird Don't you spread your wings too wide
You were meant to be free But you may never, never Never go outside 

Ooh

I hear you, pretty bird in a cage
Now, do you wish to be you Or just a sparrow?
Just a simple sparrow?

Now, do you understand 

He's worthless as the sand But free as the breeze?
And he goes where he pleases 

Oh, pretty bird, don't you see That if only you were ordinary
You too could be free?

Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now
Ooh Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now
Ooh Pretty bird, yeah. You've got to fly to your freedom now
Ooh Oh, pretty bir Fly to your— Fly to your freedom now
Ooh Pretty bird Fly to your freedom now
Ooh Pretty bird
