Ooh

I see you, pretty bird in a cage
Do you fly high in the sky?
No, you're caged
And I see you, pretty bird in a cage
You say you don't understand
Well, it's quite normal
For one of your elegant breeding
To be chosen to slave for human eyes
Pretty bird, don't you see
That if only you were ordinary
You too could be free?

Pretty bird
Fly to your freedom now
Pretty bird
Fly to your freedom now

Your owner offers you protection
Provides a cell and food every day
Now, careful, pretty bird
Don't you spread your wings too wide
You were meant to be free
But you may never, never
Never go outside
Ooh
I hear you, pretty bird in a cage
Now, do you wish to be you
Or just a sparrow?
Just a simple sparrow?
Now, do you understand
He's worthless as the sand
But free as the breeze?
And he goes where he pleases
Oh, pretty bird, don't you see
That if only you were ordinary
You too could be free?

Pretty bird
Fly to your freedom now
Ooh
Pretty bird
Fly to your freedom now
Ooh
Pretty bird, yeah
You've got to fly to your freedom now
Ooh
Oh, pretty bird
Fly to your— Fly to your freedom now
Ooh
Pretty bird
Fly to your freedom now
Ooh
Pretty bird
