Verse 2

And if the door would be wide open
would you stay and
just think twice
would you'd be happy with all you got
wouldn't you maybe
change your mind

and sometimes it can be better
some days you think it
never will
sometimes you will give up hope
other days you will fulfill

Chorus

and
now I know why caged birds sing
there is hope for all of us
you just have to keep believing in
and now I know-ooh,
now I know why caged birds sing

(keep playing the same chords: F-C-G-C )

there is hope for all of us
you just have to keep believing in
now I know why caged birds sing

there is hope for all of us
you just have to keep believing in
now I know why caged birds sing
