JAILBIRDS

                                   Jailbirds

V-1
They say a jailbird can't fly,
but watch them all give it a try.
They say a jailbird has no wings,only the ones that hope, brings.
Even the ones that isn't behind steel bars,
where bars are only made from scars.
Though these bars no one sees,
or, the regrets that has come to be.

Chorus
Yes, jailbirds learn how to fly,
and float away, like an escaping butterfly.
You know, you never see a jailbird's wings,
Or the dreams that fly high above their prison's ceiling.

V-2
A woman or man in an unseen jail,
with walls that are hard to scale.
Walls that are hard to knockdown,
each escape route being shut down.
Each minute seems like a year,
a wish for freedom all seems to share.

Chorus
Yes, jailbirds do learn how to fly,
and, float away like an escaping butterfly.
You know, you never see a jailbird's wings,
or the dreams that fly high above their prison's ceiling.

Bridge
Now, sometimes freedom comes with death,
coming only with one's last breath.

V-3
Still some prisoners, makes breaks,
fighting to be free with all it takes.
Escape for a husband, for a wife,
is the only way either one can survive.

Chorus
Yes, jailbirds do learn how to fly,
and, float away like an escaping butterfly.
You know, you never see a jailbird's wings,
or the dreams that fly high above their prison's ceiling.

Jailbird, Jailbird.
