Lyrics for Little Bird
Aah-aah Ahh-ahh Aah-aah Ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh 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, yeah 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, yeah But my, my I feel so low My, my, oh where do I go? My, my, oh 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 Ooh-ooh Aah-aah Ooh-ooh Aah-aah Ooh-ooh Aah-aah Ooh-ooh Aah-aah For I am just a troubled soul Who's weighted, (weighted) Weighted to the ground (weighted to the ground), (oh, weighted to the ground) Give me the strength to carry on 'TiI I can lay my burden down (Lay my burden, lay the burden down) Give me the strength to lay this burden down down, down, yeah Give me the strength to lay it down, (lay it down, lay it down) But now, now 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 I feel so low My, my, where do I go? My, my, what do I know? My, my, we reap what we sow Put you one more time, o-oh
