Bird

Birds have wings to fly until
They see blue, and blue’s my pill
Don’t have wings, so I’m standing still
Here on the pavement, like chalk until
It all blows away, away

If I was a bird, a beautiful bird
I’d fly away from here
Away from pain, and the clouds, and the grey
To a part of the world where it’s another day
And it’s pretty, it’s pretty

I’ll know
When my heart awakes
When my spirit shakes
With life
That freedom awaits
The wind’ll take me away
And I’ll know, I’ll know
I’m awake

Why should I pretend I can fly today
When I’m caught on the side
A side full of lies
Thought I could see here
But maybe it’s just be a shadow here
Not me, and not you here
Not me, not you

If my heart could speak today
It would be silent like Friday
Not beat loud like that holiday,
Though I wish it were louder, to say
I miss you, yes I miss you
But I’ll know that’s not today

I’ll know
When my heart awakes
When my spirit shakes
With life
That freedom awaits
The wind’ll take me away
And I’ll know, I’ll know
Yeah, I’ll know,
That I’m a bird that day
