lyrics

Fly, little bird,
Why don’t you
Fly across the sea?
You know, you’re
Much too sweet to be
In somebody’s cage, now.

Go, spread the word.
And tell the people
What you see.
You know, you’re
Much too wise to be
Alone with the truth, now.

Put on your brave face.
Don’t let them keep you,
You’re out of place.

Fall with the breeze
And see we’re
Watching as you go.
You know, you’re
Freer than the snow
That falls to the earth, now.

Green makes the trees.
Oh, help them wither,
Help them grow.
You know, you’re
Putting on a show
And that isn’t you, now.

Put on your brave face.
Don’t let them keep you.
You’re out of place.

Flowers may fade.
Oh, see the petals
As they fall.
You know, you’re
Mighty though you’re small.
And don’t you forget, now.

Far from the shade,
Away from trees
That once seemed tall,
You know, you’re
Answering a call
That’s meant just for you, now.

Put on your brave face.
Don’t let them keep you,
You’re out of place.

And as the years go by,
Still, I wonder why.
Many with wings
Will never fly.

Fly, little bird,
Go on and fly
Away from me.
You know, you’re
Pretty when you’re free.
Oh, ain’t it the truth, now?

Haven’t you heard?
It seems that
Everyone agrees.
You know, you’re
Getting what you need,
So take in the view, now.

Put on your brave face.
Don’t let them keep you,
You’re out of place.
You’re out of place.
