Lyrics
Lovebird
Oh, little lovebird
Won't you teach me how to fly?
So safe and sound planted on the ground
But I am longing to touch the sky
Oh, little lovebird
Won't you show me how to land?
I can't stay up here in the air forever
So I'd better have a plan
You're such a little thing
But you're not worrying
You're only acting on instinct
I can't believe my eyes
How someone of your size
Can be so bold and wise
Oh, little lovebird
Won't you tell me why you sing?
You're not afraid to share your song
Even if nobody's listening
Repeat chorus
Oh, little love bird
Won't you teach me how to fly?
So safe and sound planted on the ground
But I am longing to touch the sky
