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 my 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
