lyrics

Words by Lyly M / Music by Idriss El Mehdi

You're trying to take control of my mind
But i still get my spirit
You're trying to take control of my body
But i still get my soul, my soul
When will this stop, I can't take it anymore

I've been waiting so long so many years
For you to understand i was different
You’ve put me into a jail of medecines
You held me as if i was dangerous
You can't see who i truly am
Because of your ignorance

I am a wild bird, wild bird held in a gold cage
Still i can whisper to the moon and the stars
I am a wild bird, wild bird held in a gold cage
Still i can see the sun and the clouds, wild bird

My head up, my eyes wide open
From ashes to dust i always come back
Strong and proud i am the phoenix
You can't see who i truly am
Because of your ignorance

I am a wild bird, wild bird held in a gold cage
Still i can whisper to the moon and the stars
I am a wild bird, wild bird held in a gold cage
Still i can see the sun and the clouds
I am a wild bird, wild bird held in a gold cage
Still i can whisper to the moon and the stars
I am a wild bird, wild bird held in a gold cage.
Still i can wistle to the moon and the stars.

I am a wild bird held in a gold cage.
