Luck

How can we make amends When we said all we said I call and you don't pick up How can I say instead That I hope it's for the best I won't, and I won't give up I'm sorry mother I know I let you down I'm sorry for how I up and left this town How can we push aside All the bad and make it right Now you got me all choked up I'm sorry brother I know I let you down I'm sorry for how I up and left this town But please, just listen 'Cause I don't ask for much I am my own man I make my own luck How can we both take sides When we know nothing's right Open up the door that's shut How can I have my pride And drink away my soul tonight Sorrows filling up my cup I'm sorry father I know I let you down I'm sorry for how I up and left this town But please, just listen 'Cause I don't ask for much I am my own man I make my own luck Well some birds aren't meant to be caged And I just can't see the light of day Please, forgive me, I can't remember Please, forgive me, no one is calling Please, forgive me, I can't believe it, no Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ember grow Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go It's hard to stay, it's hard to stay 'Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged How can I set us free? I'm what you taught me to be Shouldn't that be enough It's time that we make amends Let's forget the things we said You know we were all just stuck I'm sorry mother I know I let you down I'm sorry father I didn't stick around But please, just listen 'Cause I don't ask for much I am my own man I make my own luck Please, just listen 'Cause I don't ask for much Just like my old man I make my own luck And some birds aren't meant to be caged And some just can't see the light of day Please, forgive me, I can't remember Please, forgive me, no one is calling Please, forgive me, I can't believe it, no Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ember grow Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go It's hard to stay, it's hard to stay 'Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged Please, just listen 'Cause I don't ask for much I am my own man I make my own luck Please, just listen 'Cause I don't ask for much I am my own man I make my own luck
