Verse 1
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
"I could have been Am giant" said the bonsai tree
[C] [C/B] [D]
"But someone bound my roots and held me down."
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
"I could have reached the Heavens" said the snowy owl
[C] [Am] [G]
"But they clipped my wings and kept me on the ground."
[C] [Am] [Em] [G]
I think I heard them tell me that they loved me
[C] [C/B] [D]
That they'd care for me--without them I would die
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
But what's the use of roots if you can't spread them?
[C] [Am] [G]
What's the use of wings if you can't fly?
[C] [Am] [G]
Verse 2
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
"I could have been a singer" said the Myna bird
[C] [C/B] [D]
"But they caged me and told me what to say."
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
"I could have run forever" said the pony
[C] [Am] [G]
"But they bridled me and made me go their way."
[C] [Am] [Em] [G]
"I think I heard them tell me that they loved me
[C] [C/B] [D]
That they'd care for me forever so it seems
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
What's the use of voices without freedom?
[C] [Am] [G]
What's the use of living other's dreams?"
Chorus
[C] [Am] [Em] [G]
Why do people cage the things they love the most?
[C] [C/B] [D]
Is it simply that they fear to be alone?
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
If you give you're love it's freedom, it will stay awhile
[C] [Am] [G]
If it leaves you, it was never yours to own
[C] [Am] [G]
Verse 3
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
"I could have found adventure" said the angelfish
[C] [C/B] [D]
"Now my world's so small there's nowhere left to go."
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
"I could have ruled a kingdom" said the lion
[C] [Am] [G]
"Now this land inside my head is all I know."
[C] [Am] [Em] [G]
I think I heard them tell me that they loved me
[C] [C/B] [D]
That they'd care for me, and tell me it's alright
[G] [G/F#] [Em]
But what's the use of life without adventure?
[C] [Am] [G]
What's the use of strength if you can't fight?

I know I heard them tell me that they loved me

But what's the use of roots if you can't spread them?
