Things In Cages Music and Lyrics by Tim Hulsman


Filling up on serenity
Drinking the tea cup of vanity
Killing time in silence
Child like with innocence

I’m reading a new prayer to sanity
I question the depth of our wealth
I’m waiting and waiting and waiting for…
A license to carry me over the hill

And it doesn’t seem to matter to the human race
That nothing’s ever happy, living in a cage
Yeah it does seem to matter to the human race
That nothing’s ever happy…in a cage

Can you believe we’ve been here so long
Chasing rainbows and the dream to belong
We’re smiling into the wide open-less-ness, less-ness
And we’re filling our hearts to the brim
Filling our cups to the brim
Filling our bowls to the brim
Filling ourselves to the point of sin

And it doesn’t seem to matter to the human race
That nothing’s ever happy, living in a cage
Yeah it does seem to matter to the human race
That nothing’s ever happy, living in a cage
We’re living in a cage…In a cage.

All the things in cages say
Yes, all the things in cages say
Can you leave those cracks and slivers,
To let some light shine in?
And just leave those doors wide open
To let some fresh… air… in.
