Flightless Birds

Oh, flightless birds You go any farther You are attached to your mother But you'll never understand Her hair strands that fall down her face With her story you cannot paste To your wings that you'll fly with one day Out of this state or country Oh, flightless birds Why do you have to line up behind the worst All the lies and the truths that are told to you will hold you down Hold on to your mother Hold on to your mother Hold on to your mother Cause there will be a day when your mother will fly away She knows you've got problems Your problems bring you woe But don't be confused with the things you think you know She'll make you slip, you'll lose your grip Down to evergreen and the snow Things might be misunderstood before you go All the lies and the truths that are told to you will hold you down All the lies and the truths that are told to you will hold you down Hold on to your mother Hold on to your mother Hold on to your mother Cause there will be a day when your mother will fly away Hold on to your mother Hold on to your mother Hold on to your mother Cause there will be a day when your mother will fly away
