Lyrics

Angelou

Dead snakes on the trail
Mean coyote on your tail
Full moon fever’s got you high
Northern star in a southern sky

Tornado warning on full alert
Scavenger kid raised on dirt
Backroads driving, take the wheel
Leave the past in the rear view mirror

Chorus
You can’t reach the sky if your feet are in chains
Eagles can’t fly with clipped wings
If only the caged bird would sing again
If only the caged bird would sing

Midnight swim in a moonlit lake
Cold water erases past mistakes
Finding your voice, shedding your skin
Catching that first note on the wind

Chorus

Now the birds are free to sing again
Now the birds can sing
