about

this song was written about being positive and looking on the brighter side of things

lyrics

What are you holding onto so tightly?
These words will fly off the tip of your tongue if you let go slightly
Seconds can fall like sand thru your hands when you're too comfortable
You'll never see the whole picture looking from behind the glass

Let the birds out of their cages and watch them fly away
Soaring thru the clouds as they chase the sky away
Would they wander, oh I wonder
Let the birds out of their cages and watch them fly away
Watch them fly away

Pictures only capture the one single moment
But those thousand words have so much more to say
Fleeting thoughts can storm the mind like comets - one at a time
Until you find the use of using metaphors to explain your life

Let the birds out of their cages and watch them fly away
Soaring thru the clouds as they chase the sky away
Would they wander, oh I wonder
Let the birds out of their cages and watch them fly away
Watch them fly away
