	Story Behind the Song This song came to me while watching the morning news, on a summer morning when I wasn't feeling very well. It is a plea for help from the world. A declaration of anger, if you will, about many many things. Children of divorce, abuse, abandonment, esp. very young children have no control over what is happening to them. They are many times torn into two directions, with no real place to call home. We have to remember how fragile these children are. You can't turn the news on or read a paper, or even walk down a busy city street without seeing victims of selfishness, greed and hatred. That's not to say that good news and good people aren't out there, because they're all over the place.. it's just that the bad news is always thrown at us from every angle. We have become almost immune to feeling any kind of sorrow when we witness violence on television, whether it is real or imaginary, and this is a very dangerous situation. Sometimes don't you think it would be so nice to just get away from everything for at least a little while? I do, even if it's only long enough to sing this sad little song. Lyrics It's a gamble sometimes Just getting out of bed I can't watch the morning news anymore because it always makes me cry, cry, cry like an angry baby like an angry baby Maybe we should just jump this train before they throw us overboard I've got my pride in my pocket We'll hold our heads high We will walk tall Let's go Maybe we should crawl into a corner Far away from all these things We won't surface for awhile Until things begin to change Change for the better Change for the better Yeah I feel like a bird in a broken cage I feel like a bird in a broken cage My wings have been clipped, I can't fly My wings have been clipped, I cannot fly I feel a like a bird in a broken cage with broken wings And it's a crying shame Because I could have flown so high I could have flown so high I could have kissed the sky Yeah I could have kissed the sky Like a bird in a broken cage here I am, I can't fly Like a broken bird in a cage I can't fly... yeah maybe we should jump this train
