Beyond the Cage

[female vocal] [Verse 1] Stuck in the shadow of a gilded cage Whose walls are made of fear and doubt I hear the echoes of a frozen dream A voice that whispers "you can't get out" But somewhere deep inside my chest A fire burns that won't go out I won't let their chains hold me tight Not anymore, not tonight [Pre-Chorus] The past is a weight I can't ignore But the future is calling my name I'll break these walls, I'll cross this line Even if it tears me apart [Chorus] Beyond the cage, beyond the pain I'll find the light that I've been chasing My heart is a drum, my soul is a flame I'll rise above the ashes of my shame Beyond the cage, beyond the rain I'll spread my wings and fly away This is my fight, this is my time I'll claim the freedom that's mine [Verse 2] Memories of days when I was small When they told me "stay in your place" But I saw the stars beyond the wall And I knew I had to chase Now I'm standing at the edge of night With courage in my eyes I'll leave the darkness behind And step into the light [Pre-Chorus] The road ahead is long and hard But I won't turn back now I'll fight for what I believe in Even if I have to bow [Chorus] Beyond the cage, beyond the pain I'll find the light that I've been chasing My heart is a drum, my soul is a flame I'll rise above the ashes of my shame Beyond the cage, beyond the rain I'll spread my wings and fly away This is my fight, this is my time I'll claim the freedom that's mine [Bridge] Sometimes I feel like giving up Like the weight is too much to bear But then I think of all the dreams That I've been holding in the air I'll keep going, I'll keep fighting Until I reach the other side Because freedom is worth the struggle And I won't let it die [Chorus] Beyond the cage, beyond the pain I'll find the light that I've been chasing My heart is a drum, my soul is a flame I'll rise above the ashes of my shame Beyond the cage, beyond the rain I'll spread my wings and fly away This is my fight, this is my time I'll claim the freedom that's mine [Outro] Beyond the cage, beyond the pain I'm free at last, I'm free at last The light is shining, the road is clear I'll live my life without fear
