In the night the hour did come When all the treasures rich and fair Seemed worthless to a restless girl As she breathed superficial air The lights that shone started to blind This girl with an enquiring mind Looking outside the cage she dreamed The gilded bird began to sing
Hear me The gilded bird will fly
On the streets she walked through gold The precious things that could be owned Empty promises of eternity With every single pavement stone The lights that shone started to blind This girl with an enquiring mind Looking outside the cage she dreamed The gilded bird began to sing
Hear me The gilded bird will fly
Flying so high High flying so high Back to the shoreline High flying so high Back to the shoreline Back to the core
