I look up to the little bird that across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit back down and cry, cry, cry, yeah

I walk along the city streets
So dark with the rage and fear
And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
I wish I had the wings to fly away from here

But my my, I feel so low
My my, oh where do I go
My my, oh what do I know
My my, we reap what we sow

They always said that you knew best but
This little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I've just got to put these wings to test

Cry, cry, (4x)
I've got a feeling
Cry, cry, cry-cry, cry,
Cry, cry

For I am just a troubled soul
Who's weighted, weighted to the ground
Give me the strength to carry on
'Till I can lay my burden down
Give me the strength to relay my burden
Down, down yeah

But my my, I feel so low
My my, oh where do I go
My my, oh what do I know
My my, we reap what we sow

They always said that you knew best but
This little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I've just got to put these wings to test

Cry, cry (4x)
I've got a feeling
Cry, cry, cry-cry, cry
Cry, cry
