The Canary's Song (Original)

I know it's been a while since I've written anything but the other day my friend (you know who you are) worded something in the most poetic way that I couldn't help but put it to a tune.
Enjoy.

Lyrics

Sitting here
All alone
No sound
But the radio
It plays a sad tune
I've heard it before
About a young canary
Behind cage doors

She says I'm the young bird
Trapped in a cage
They locked me in here
And threw the key away
But I refuse to let life pass me by
So I'm making my own damn sky

I reach for the stars once
But they clipped my wings
Stuck me in this prison
Full of pretty things
Anything you want they say
Anything it's yours
But you can't, no you can't fly away

Cause I'm the young bird
Trapped in a cage
They locked me in here
And threw the key away
But I refuse to let life pass me by
So I'm making my own damn sky

And they say it's for my own good
But I don't see how that could
Be true
Cause while everyone flies free
I'm forced to be
The yellow canary that's blue

I'm the young bird
Trapped in a cage
They locked me in here
And threw the key away
But I refuse to let life pass me by
So I'm making my own damn sky

I'm the young bird
Trapped in a cage
They locked me in here
And threw the key away
But I refuse to let life pass me by
So I'm making my own damn sky

So I'm making my own damn sky
