Caged Bird lyrics - Alicia Keys

Right now, I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and reverie
They don't know how I feel inside
Through my smile, I cry
They don't know what they're doing to me
Keeping me from flying
That's why I say that...

I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free?

So she can fly, fly, fly
Spreading her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see

She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty

How Come You Don't Call Me lyrics - Alicia Keys

But all I wanna know is baby
If what we had was good...

I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm)
And I still remember everything you said (mmm)
I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone
(And I'm not tryin' hear that sh*t)

What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Still light the fire on a rainy night
Still like it better when your holding me tight
Everybody said
Everybody said that we should never part (mmm)
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart

All I wanna know is baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh you gotta try

I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please please please
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa

Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone

How come you don't call me
(why must you torture me)
How come you don't call me

We Are Here lyrics - Alicia Keys

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

Bombs over Baghdad, tryna get something we ain't never had
Let's start with a good dad
So real but it's so sad
And while we burnin' this incense, we gon' pray for the innocent
Cause right now it don't make sense
Right now it don't make sense
Let's talk about Chi town
Let's talk about Gaza
Let's talk about, let's talk about Israel
Cause right now it is real
Let's talk about, let's talk Nigeria
In a mass hysteria, yeah
Our souls are brought together so that we could love each other
Brother,

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

No guns made in Harlem, but yet crime is a problem
He wanna shine, they wanna rob him
Single mother, where they come from?
How we gonna save the nation, with no support for education
Cause right now it don't make sense
Right now it don't make sense
Let's talk about our part
My heart touch your heart
Let's talk about, let's talk about living
Had enough of dying, not what we all about
Let's do more giving
Do more forgiving, yeah
Our souls were brought together so that we could love each other
Sister,

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh

We are here (oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
We are here for all of us (oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
(oh, oh)
We are here for all of us (oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
that's why we are here, why we are here (oh, oh)

Cause we are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are, here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here,
Why we are here
