Lyrics Bobby McFerrin

Bobby McFerrin

Sightless Bird

Haven't alone much lately I think

I've got to quiet down

enough of this runaround

I've got to get out of town

so i sit alone in the power of thought

looking for an empty space

a livin', breathin' place

a bit of sustaining grace

out here I'll bid all my troubles by

and exchange graceful lilting melodies with a sightless bird

my unfettered spirit taking flight

telling my secrets to unsighted friends

as I lay my back upon a cool moss tree

I'm looking out across the sky

I can see clouds roll by

I can feel tension die

and I lay my head upon a hill

sightless bird sings to heal

weariness I may feel

sometimes may seem too real

out here I'll bid all my troubles by

and exchange graceful lilting melodies with a sightless bird

my unfettered spirit taking flight

telling my secrets to unsighted friends
