[Verse 1]
I'm a circle in a square hole
Some kind of misfit rebel
So misunderstood and out on a limb
I'm never could try to fit in

I've always been a black sheep
I keep movin' at my own speed
I'm painting the sky and making it mine
Colour the world outside the lines

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't care what they say
I'm breaking away, yeah
Yeah, I'm getting ready

[Chorus]
Some birds aren't meant to be caged
Too bright to stay in one place
Ooh
Are you listening?
Ooh
Can you hear me?

You can't fly without feathers (hey)
But you can't cut your own strings
Ooh
Some birds are meant to be free
Ooh
And I got wings
Ah-ah
I got wings
Ah-ah

[Verse 2]
I don't follow any leaders
I'm an all-day dreamer
Head in the clouds, not comin' down (not comin' down)
I'm up so high, I can't see the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't care what they say
I'm breaking away, yeah
Yeah, I'm getting ready

[Chorus]
Some birds aren't meant to be caged
Too bright to stay in one place
Ooh
Are you listening?
Ooh
Can you hear me?

You can't fly without feathers (hey)
But you can't cut your own strings
Ooh
Some birds are meant to be free
Ooh
And I got wings
Ah-ah
I got wings
Ah-ah

[Bridge]
Ooh
Ah-ah
Ooh
Ooh
Ah-ah
Ooh

[Chorus]
Some birds aren't meant to be caged
Too bright to stay in one place
Ooh
Are you listening?
Ooh
Can you hear me?

You can't fly without feathers (hey)
But you can't cut your own strings
Ooh
Some birds are meant to be free
Ooh
And I got wings
Ah-ah
I got wings
Ah-ah

[Outro]
And I got wings
Ah-ah
I got wings
Ah-ah
