Songbird

I want to be a songbird

And I want to sit on the tallest branch of the tallest tree

And I want to sing lullabies to Earth as she cries

But I really want to try and make her laugh.

I want to be a songbird

And I want to watch sunrise

With my love by my side

And I want to grow and I want to learn

I want a fire and I want to burn

I want to rise and I want to fall

I want to run and I want to crawl.

I want to be a songbird

And I just want to try to know how far and deep and wide

This love is that you give cuz that’s what it is to really live

To just try and look around

See when our breaths and hear you in our sounds

I want to be a songbird

Go thru things that I need

Make me hurt and make me bleed

Cuz I will arise and see the light

I’ll pray my way through the night

And I want to be a songbird

And I want to sing lullabies to Earth as she cries

But I really want to try and make her laugh

How you made me laugh

You made me laugh. (2x)

Take the strings and the things I use to tie me to the ground

Let them all be gone

I want to be a songbird. (2x)
