Sound that comes from the upstairs room   Is like the sound of my stranded heart   The sound of something alive and afraid   Is like my stranded heart      Helpless bird, beat on in vain   Beat out your life on the windowpane   Remember the sun, remember the light   And the freedom of flight      Afraid of the shadows of the dark world inside   It struggles to be free   Afraid of the snares of the dark world inside   It struggles to be free      Helpless bird, beat on in vain   Beat out your life on the windowpane   Remember the sun, remember the light   And the freedom of flight
