Lyrics
little bird
little bird, you can't fly anymore
those cages clipped your wings for sure
all that sky, too far away for you now
and you can't sing, not like before anyhow
little bird, all the places you have been
you can't go back, it's all behind you now but it's not the end
little bird, you can stay here with me
and i'll love you, be the best friend i can be
(bridge/solo)
little bird, all the places you have been
you can't go back, it's all behind you now but you can start again
you're the most precious thing i've found
and there's some beauty
you may not have been
close enough to see, before
here on the ground
yeah, there's some beauty
you're now close enough to see
here on the ground
