[00:10.01]I was a bird in a cage
[00:14.22]I sang for freedom
[00:16.73]I sang to escape
[00:19.41]So I set that bird ablaze
[00:23.60]I watched as I rose
[00:26.14]Above the flames
[00:28.08]So high, high
[00:34.92]I rise, rise
[00:43.05]Out of the darkness into the light
[00:46.41]I shine like the stars burning holes in the sky
[00:51.13]Oh I always dreamed
[00:53.30]Of being released
[00:55.52]I soar through the air now
[00:58.07]With the greatest of ease
[01:00.04]So high, high
[01:06.73]I rise, rise
[01:23.20]Oh tonight
[01:27.58]These bars turn to wind chimes
[01:32.48]That echo out of my windpipe
[01:36.84]As I sing from such great heights
[01:42.57]I was a bird in a cage
[01:46.55]I sang for freedom
[01:48.79]I sang to escape
[01:51.37]So I set that bird ablaze
[01:55.85]I watched as I rose
[01:58.76]Above the flames
[02:00.71]So high, high
[02:07.04]I rise, rise
[02:13.99]So high, high
[02:20.82]I fly, fly

I was a bird in a cage
I sang for freedom
I sang to escape
So I set that bird ablaze
I watched as I rose
Above the flames
So high, high
I rise, rise
Out of the darkness into the light
I shine like the stars burning holes in the sky
Oh I always dreamed
Of being released
I soar through the air now
With the greatest of ease
So high, high
I rise, rise
Oh tonight
These bars turn to wind chimes
That echo out of my windpipe
As I sing from such great heights
I was a bird in a cage
I sang for freedom
I sang to escape
So I set that bird ablaze
I watched as I rose
Above the flames
So high, high
I rise, rise
So high, high
I fly, fly
