People like me aren’t meant to be kept in cages
People like me are meant to fly,
Don’t want to be ruled by regulations,
I’m happy living up in the sky

Try to pull me back down with textbooks,
When I’m flying with Tolkien and Dahl,
Shout at me to stop daydreaming,
Trying to make me feel small,

Surely you want me to be happy?
You haven’t seen me smile in ages,
It’s because of your rules and regulations,
We’re not meant to be kept in cages
