Clipped wings, I was a broken thing
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
You would wind me down
I struggled on the ground
So lost, the line had been crossed
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
You held me down
I struggle to fly now

But there`s a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive
Yes, there`s a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don`t wanna die, no
I don`t wanna die, I don`t wanna die

And I don`t care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
No I don`t care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I`ll shout it out like a bird set free
I`ll shout it out like a bird set free
I`ll shout it out like a bird set free

Now I fly, hit the high notes
I have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
You held me down
But I fought back loud

But there`s a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive
Yes, there`s a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don`t wanna die, no
I don`t wanna die, I don`t wanna die

And I don`t care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
No I don`t care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I`ll shout it out like a bird set free
I`ll shout it out like a bird set free
I`ll shout it out like a bird set free
I`ll shout it out like a bird set free
I`ll shout it out like a bird set free
I`ll shout it out like a bird set free
