Little Bird

Annie Lennox

I look up to the little bird


That glides across the sky


He sings the clearest melody


It makes me want to cry


It makes me want to sit right down


And cry, cry, cry


I walk along the city streets


So dark with 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, where do I go?


My, my, 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


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 this burden down


Give me the strength to lay this burden down


Down, down, yeah


Give me the strength to lay it down


But my, my I feel so low


My, my, where do I go?


My, my, 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
