Trapped like a rat
I was caught, that's a fact
I pace this cell
Four square foot of hell
I eat their food
Although it ain't no good
I mark the days
With a crayon I've saved
I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That is all
Now freedom for most
Is just a word like toast
But you take it away
You gon' learn to say
I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That is all
Here it come now
I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That's all
Now freedom for most
Is just a word like toast
But you take it away
You gon' learn to say
I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That is all
I wanna fly like a bird
Over these walls
Never to be heard of again
That is all
