My bird has not learnt how to fly
To eagerly spread both his wings
My bird has been worried and tense
For I’ve been focusing on the wrong things
My bird has not had space to grow
To laugh and to play and to sing
My bird has been frightened and scared
For I’ve been focusing on the wrong things
I want to heal together
Through laughter and play and love
I want to find peace together
And soar in the skies up above
My bird I’m so sorry and sad
For the darkness and all that it brings
I wish I had built a safe nest
But I’d been focusing on the wrong things
We can heal together
Through laughter and play and love
We will find peace together
And soar in the skies up above
For now I can see the sun
Catch a glimpse of the rays in the sky
I know what I have to do now
To make sure that my bird learns to fly
For now I can see the sun
Catch a glimpse of the rays in the sky
I know what I have to do now
To make sure that my bird learns to fly
To make sure that my bird learns to fly
Fly, Fly, Fly
