How could you take a dark December night
And somehow find a light to cling to
How could you still believe in dreams
After all the pain youd seen
They couldnt kill the fire in you
Anne
Anne
Its there on every page
Some birds cant be caged
How did you keep the child in you alive
The laughter in your eyes astounds me
You never surrendered to their hate
Or let your spirit break
When the world came crashing down around you
Anne
Anne
Its there on every page
Some birds cant be caged
When your hope runs wild and free
Theres no limit to the sky
Anne, if you could only see
How youre lifting me tonight
Anne
They tell us your faith never died
Even when you closed your eyes forever
But Anne, it wasnt all in vain
Your words are like a flame
That burn for every true believer
Anne
Anne
Its there on every page
Some birds cant be caged
Oh Anne
Anne
From a room in Amsterdam
You changed the hearts of man
