I am spring.
I am reborn again
another fresh beginning
mmmhmmm
comfortable again
In my own skin again
After the coldness
of winter's grin
I can boast of newness
Noticing my own feathers...
so bright
and spring-like
I am like a bird in your hand,
don't you understand
I got another chance
I'm chilling
because I know
a change is gonna come.....
I ain't caged no more
