★ VERSE ★ Look at the pretty bird Sings exotical words Ever so pretty sound Even perched on the ground And when you pick it up Even when you dress it up Tweety in a saucer cup Sill a disaster struck The pieces broke away When ’Pretty’ didn't get its way Couldn't wait for freedom day Just to fly away You cain't make it stay Broken wings still get away Still broken again today So let it fly away
★ Chorus ★ Cause you cain't cage a bird When it just wanna be heard You cain't cage a bird So let it fly away
★ VERSE ★ Older man with means New bird on the scene Just an innocent shade of green From its mama's nеst Striding down the street Pretty bird ain't had enough to еat Hunger; tweet, tweet, tweet But it's filled with pride And a juvenile stride In comes big, man boss With his millions, he does toss Carriage and a castle high Still pretty bird cries Why would you clip its wings? When ‘Pretty’ just wants to sing That won't the thing to do Making pretty bird blue ★ Chorus ★ Cause you cain't cage a bird When it just wanna be heard You cain't cage a bird So let it fly away
★ BRIDGE ★ It never ventured out Never knew what freedom's about Hearing ‘Pretty's’ soprano shout And your ears tuned out Now you got no say Sign the paper, it’s freedom day Free and legal to fly and play A new birthday
★ OUTRO ★ And it’s gonna fly Up to the sky Real, real high
★ Chorus ★ Cause you cain't cage a bird When it just wanna be heard Now why cain't you be a friend And let the fairy-tale end

Southern-born TEMPERANCE LANCECOUNCIL is a singer/songwriter currently headquartered in Southern Calif. She has great aspirations of moving back South (Nashville, TN)!
She’s described as a nitty-gritty, country-soul singer as her style is pure country, but she pours her “red dirt” soul into every song. At an early age she believed the red dirt that she played in was clay; and that’s right about the time her mother began teaching her three-part harmony. Like many children, she sang in the youth choir at church and in her high school’s concert choir.
Some years later, in California, she organized and fronted her own band in the nineties and like many bands – the band hit rough spots and she went solo.
Although currently optimistic about her life and music, her formative years got off to a rough start. She overcame two bouts of life-threatening, double pneumonia as an infant, and was then hit by a near-fatal case of scarlet fever as a second-grader. Not letting any of that derail her, the ex-cheerleader, homecoming queen and pageant girl, kept her eye on the prize, and has since released several singles. “My Restraining Order (Won’t Do),” is about one more of her true-life, rough spots. The brash sound in her delivery reflects the bravado and grittiness of her life.
There’s a message of ‘overcoming an obstacle’ and ‘empowerment’ in ALL of her songs; which are on YouTube under Temperance Lancecouncil’s songs.
