Little Bird

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't catch a bird that don't want catchin' I can't make it sing its song for me Freedom all alone, well, that's a cage all its own Freedom on your own ain't really free No, little bird, that ain't what it means [Verse 2] And I won't take the wings you're used to havin' I just wanna brush them with my hands Freedom all alone, well, that's a wing made out of stone Freedom on your own ain't really free No, little bird, that ain't what it means [Chorus] Even freedom needs some fences Even blue skies need the ground Though you think it's gonna hurt Even you, little bird, need the feelin' Of comin' down, oh [Post-Chorus] Mm-mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm-mm [Verse 3] And I don't want the colors that you're flashin' I know that's what everybody sees Freedom all alone, well, that's a way to never show Anybody what's really underneath No, little bird, that ain't what it means [Chorus] 'Cause even freedom needs some fences Even blue skies need the ground Though you think it's gonna hurt Even you, little bird, need the feelin' Of comin' down [Outro] Freedom all alone, well, that's a cage all its own Freedom on your own ain't really free No, little bird, won't you come on down to me
