Lyrics

“My Body Is a Cage”


My body is a cage that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key


My body is a cage that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key


I’m standing on a stage

Of fear and self-doubt

It’s a hollow play

But they’ll clap anyway


My body is a cage that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key


You’re standing next to me

My mind holds the key


I’m living in an age

That calls darkness light

Though my language is dead

Still the shapes fill my head


I’m living in an age

Whose name I don’t know

Though the fear keeps me moving

Still my heart beats so slow


My body is a cage that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key


You’re standing next to me

My mind holds the key

My body is a,


My body is a cage

We take what we’re given

Just because you’ve forgotten

That don’t mean you’re forgiven


I’m living in an age

That screams my name at night

But when I get to the doorway

There’s no one in sight


I’m living in an age

That laughs when I’m dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key


You’re standing next to me

My mind holds the key

Set my spirit free

Set my spirit free

Set my body free

Set my body free


Set my spirit free

Set my body free
