Fly Away Lyrics

Fly away little bird Any place in this open mouth world Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you But you won't rest
Everyone's got a need to go Most of us stick with our row to hoe But not you, you're the black crow With a straight line and no time
For the birds of prey who wreck your nest Twice your size, steal your best They set you on this course of your collision
I am a stop along your way I am the words you'll never say I crossed the great beyond of fear Opened my eyes and saw us there What a view, you went there too
Fly away little bird Find the song in you that no one's heard Strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight Through this short life
Everyone's got a deep regret We try to ground ourselves to forget But your race to the end is neck and neck You love them, you love them not
The birds of prey who wreck your nest Twice your size steal your best They set you on this course of your collision
I am a stop along your way I am the words you'll never say I crossed the great beyond of fear Opened my eyes and saw us there What a view and you went there too
But all along your chosen path are Window panes and sheets of glass That you won't see, you fly too fast One day it will be over
Fly away little bird The saddest song I ever heard Was the one that I wrote you in my heart That never made it to the world
