lyrics

Bird Set Free

Composed by Sia Furler, Gregory Kurstin

Clipped wings, I was a broken thing
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
You would wind me down
I struggled on the ground, oh

So lost, the line had been crossed
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
You held me down
I struggle to fly now, oh

But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh

Yes, there's a scream inside we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, yeah

I don’t care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free

No, I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free

Oh, oh, oh, oh…

I shout it out like a bird set free

Oh, oh, oh, oh…

I shout it out like a bird set free

Now I fly, hit the high notes
I have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
You held me down
But I fought back loud

Oh, there's a scream inside we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive

Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

And I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free

No I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh, oh, oh, oh…

I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh, oh, oh, oh…

I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh, oh, oh, oh…

I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh, oh, oh, oh…

I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Oh, oh, oh, oh…

I'll shout it out like a bird set free
