Cm                  Fm
I'm a fish inside a birdcage
Bb                         Eb
My brother always sings me songs
G                             Cm
And with his beak he tries to soothe me

He has a wild imagination

And tells me things that must be true
G                                Cm
Like there's a world where I can take flight

Where I can freely move

   Eb             Bb
So carry me from these walls
F          D
Brother of mine
Gm                   C
Show me the world outside
          Eb
It has to be true

I'm counting on you

To be my wings and my eyes

As I breathe into our silencе

There's a voice that comforts mе

It's a voice of understanding
D7                    G7

Wings of feathers, tails and fin tips

I feel each rock so differently
G                             Cm
You gave me more than I could ask for
