I look up to the little bird 
That glides across the sky 
He sings the clearest melody 
It makes me want to cry 
It makes me want to sit right down  
and cry cry cry 
I walk along the city streets 
So dark with rage and fear 
And I... 
I wish that I could be that bird 
And fly away from here 
I wish I had the wings to fly away from here 
 
But my my I feel so low 
My my where do I go ? 
My my what do I know ? 
My my we reap what we sow 
They always said that you knew best 
But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now 
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed 
So I've just got to put these wings to test 
 
For I am just a troubled soul 
Who's weighted... 
Weighted to the ground 
Give me the strength to carry on 
Till I can lay this burden down 
Give me the strength to lay this burden down down down yeah 
Give me the strength to lay it down 
 
But my my I feel so low 
My my where do I go ? 
My my what do I know ? 
My my we reap what we sow 
They always said that you knew best 
But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now 
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed 
So I've just got to put these wings to test
