Sometimes I wish I were a bird,

sailing the skies and watching the world.

Across the deep blue ocean

in the deep white clouds,

falling asleep with the sunset,

waking up with the sunrise.

Sometimes...

Oh sometimes I so much want to be a bird-

to spred my wings and fly away...

away from the sadness,

away from the pain,

away from my own brain,

away from the fame...

away from the lyrics,

away from the blame...

I want to be a bird

and to feel the air in my chest.

I want to sing freely

and to feel all the best.

To have my one and only love,

with who I will watch

how our children grow...

And when he dies,

I want to die alone-

just like all the other birds-

flying on my own...
