Sweet Little Bird

She heard a lullaby before It put her right to sleep She hadn't any reason to believe That life would pass her by But now she wakes up wondering why she's too afraid to fly Oh, sweet little bird I know just how it feels When your cries are not quite being heard Sweet little bird, you can't depend on anyone For only you can break your curse She'll watch the eagles soar above As she lays in her nest Overly concerned with just how far the sky extends She's got a heavy head A million songs are trapped behind her front of discontent Well, if only she could make it up the branch Without falling back to where she began Oh, sweet little bird I know just how it feels When your cries are not quite being heard Sweet little bird, you can't depend on anyone For only you can break your curse If she can't fly, then why have wings If she's not heard, what does she sing Though she's capable of anything It's hard for a little bird to see A life beyond this little tree
