I'm a bird

I'm a bird, chirpety chirp
I want you and you want me

but why, why don't you see

I can't be with you and be free...

and I need to be free.

I'm a bird that's perched 

on top of the highest tree

and I can fly high above 

so I can look down and see

all the love that goes on and

all the hate between everyone 

and I know that when I see  

any pain or suffering, 

I can fly far away 

when it's too much to take.

I'm a bird, can't you see

you can chirp with me 

if you can fly up to my tree

there's an empty branch 

right in front of me

we can fly together 

and watch each other 

as long as you don't smother 

with your needs and desires 

as long as you let me be 

on this branch, this tree...
but, as long as you see I'm free,

you will hear me sing...
I'm a bird, chirpety chirp
but why can't you see
I want you, if you want me
