Caged Bird

I am a caged bird
Haven't you heard, haven't you heard?
Restricted and bound
I can't make a sound, I can't make a
Cry
This is my cry, this is my
Cry
Do you know why? Do you know know why?
Stuck as a caged bird.
No where to turn, no where to turn.
Loneliness inside
There's no where to hide, no where to hide
Cry
This is my cry, this is my
Cry
Do you know why? Do you know know why?
Is anyone out there?
Can anyone hear, can anyone hear?
No I think you're alone dear,
Now I'm plagued by my fear, I'm plagued by my
Cry
This is my cry, this is my
Cry
Do you know why? Do you know know why?
Do you know why?
I am a caged bird
Haven't you heard, haven't you heard?
My cage it engulfs me
I'll never be free, never be free
Never be free
Cry
This is my cry, this is my
Cry
Do you know why? Do you know know why?
Can you tell me why? Can you tell me why?
Do you know why?

I Tried

The sails are up, full speed ahead,
I wanna live this life, not get caught up
In the pain, or in the hurt, of the daily grind, of my childhood
Push it out 'cause my heart says go,
Move on in this life, no time to slow down to think of what life once was,
There's just no point in drudging up,
These memories, these tears, these bleeds of a brokenness,
Of a need to please,
Of a family that just wanted peace, but never got that chance to breathe
Though I tried, I tried
I try to get work down, but the more I try the more gets in the way,
Not trying to procrastinate
But my thoughts runaway, and they just put me to shame
Oh they sink deeper, and deeper, and deeper down,
And they pull me away from where I'm supposed to be
Living a life where I'm just free to be me,
I try to pull up that line, but I'm just to weak, I've got no self-esteem
See I don't have self worth, so that anchor just sinks right back down
Into the earth, and into the dirt, and beneath those waves
When I try, I try
I'm so tired of trying to be Superwoman, trying to not be human,
To pretend that I'm ok, or that I'm just fine, if it's all a lie
But when I try to feel, when I try to cry, the hurts to real
So I hold it back, let the anchor go, it sinks right back down
When I try, I try
Oh, I try
These feelings are overpowering, they're devouring
Every thought that comes across my mind
I gotta let go of this pride, that I keep holding on to
Gotta give it to God who has the best at heart,
Cause I just always mess it up,
And every time I trip and fall, and I break and bleed,
And I scream and cry, and I beg and plead
I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore
I can't do it anymore
No I can't do this anymore
I tried, I tried
I tried, oh I tried
I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore
I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore
I can't do this anymore
I tried

Diamond In The Rough

A diamond in the rough, I started black as coal,
But through your refining fires
I'm made pure as gold
Imperfections in this stone, my value I don't see
But these iniquities you've embraced with grace
And set this captive free
As these boulders are weathered down
Polished and her edges ground
What once was cracked
Is now a pearl
As your diamond shines, in a
In a broken world
A diamond in the rough, I started black as coal,
But through your refining fires
I'm made pure as gold
As these boulders are weathered down
Polished and her edges ground
What once was cracked
Is now a pearl
As your diamond shines, in a
In a broken world
Sharing a love that she had been shown
Tenderly holding a new brittle stone
Protecting the sand from the crashing of waves
Seeking your glory and proclaiming your name
As these boulders are weathered down
Polished and her edges ground
What once was cracked
Is now a pearl
As your diamond shines, in a
In a broken world
I was a diamond in the rough
I started black as coal
But through your refining fires
I'm made pure as gold
