INTRO: (x2) I know why the caged bird sings It's for me, it's for me I know why the caged bird sings Today I am helpless and time stands still G G G9 Em And the world goes on racing as the world always will Days turn to weeks and weeks into months Leaving no answers and treasures lost Now all that I have is all that I am Not much more than a shell of a man There's no revelations no wisdom no rhymes No freedom no pleasure no songs that are mine I'm a ship lost at sea in the waves and disease Chaos above me and Neptune beneath I can't see the stars that guide the way This night's just begun and dawn's so far away What will happen? What will happen? What will happen? What will happen? Chaos above me And Neptune beneath Chaos above me And Neptune beneath INTERLUDE (quietly, slowly, and understated): (x2) No, life is never fair. It owes me nothing Just when I had it all I lost everything But somehow God is good and God is loving Just when I lost it all I gained everything I know why the caged bird sings. It's for me, it's for me I know why the caged bird sings It's for me, it's for me. I know why the caged bird sings OUTRO: )
