[Verse 1] 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.
[Chorus] But there's a scream inside that we are frightened. We hold on so tight, we cannot deny. Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive. Yes, there's a scream inside that we are frightened. We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no. I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die.
[Chorus] I'm not gon' 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.
[Verse 2] 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.
[Chorus] But there's a scream inside that we are frightened. We hold on so tight, we cannot deny. Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive. Yes, there's a scream inside that we are frightened. We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no. I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die.
[Chorus] I'm not gon' 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.
