Verse 

   G                                  Em  
"I could have been a giant," said the bonsai tree,  
     C                Am                D  
"but someone bound my roots and held me down."   
   G                                         Em  
"I could have reached the heavens," said the snowy owl,   
          C                    D              G 
"but they clipped my wings and kept me on the ground."   

   C                  D                 G  
"I think I heard them tell me that they loved me;   
            C            Am                   D  
that they'd care for me, without them I would die.  
    G                                    Em  
But what's the use of roots if you can't spread them?   
C                 D                  G  
What's the use of wings if you can't fly?"
  


Verse 

   G                                   Em  
"I could have been a singer," said the Myna bird,  
          C                 Am              D  
"but they caged me and they told me what to say." 
   G                                 Em  
"I could have run forever," said the pony,  
          C              D                G  
"but they bridled me and made me go their way."  


   C                  D                 G  
"I think I heard them tell me that they loved me; 
            C            Am           D  
that they'd care for me forever so it seems. 
    G                                Em  
But what's the use of voices without freedom? 
C                 D              G  
What's the use of living others' dreams?"

C             D                    G 
Why do people cage the things they love the most?  
      C                Am         D  
Is it simply that they fear to be alone? 
       G                                  Em  
If you give your love its freedom, it may stay a while. 
      C                  D              G  
If it leaves you, it was never yours to own. 


Verse 

   G                                   Em  
"I could have found adventure," said the angelfish, 
        C                        Am              D  
"now my world's so small there's nowhere left to go." 
   G                                     Em 
"I could have ruled a kingdom," said the lion, 
          C              D             G 
"now this land inside my head is all I know."  

   C                  D                 G 
"I think I heard them tell me that they loved me; 
            C                Am           D 
that they'd care for me, and tell me it's alright.  
    G                              Em  
But what's the use of life without adventure? 
C                 D                  G  
What's the use of strength if you can't fight?"
