[Verse 1] 
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. 
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. 

[Refrain] 
But there's a scream inside that we are frightened. 
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny. 
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive. 
Yes, there's a scream inside that we are frightened. 
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no. 
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die. 

[Chorus] 
I'm not gon' 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. 
I'll shout it out like a bird set free. 
I'll shout it out like a bird set free. 

[Verse 2] 
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. 

[Refrain] 
But there's a scream inside that we are frightened. 
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny. 
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive. 
Yes, there's a scream inside that we are frightened. 
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no. 
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die. 

[Chorus] 
I'm not gon' 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. 
I'll shout it out like a bird set free. 
I'll shout it out like a bird set free. 
I'll shout it out like a bird set free. 
I'll shout it out like a bird set free. 
I'll shout it out like a bird set free.
