If I Was a Bird (Live At the House of Blues, New Orleans / 2003)

Lyrics

[Intro: Natalie Stewart, Marsha Ambrosius] Don't give it away (Ooh, oh oh, no, no, no, no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh oh, ooh) You know, sometimes I surround myself in self-victimization or pity And I walk blindly, never possessing my own reality [Verse 1: Marsha Ambrosius] You've got me caught in a stormy odd world that drains And I beg to see truth and promises you've made to me Now we've come so far, but my visions of happiness With you in my life, I'm afraid and confused [Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius] If I was a bird If I was a bird, I'd fly away I'd spread my wings so I'd escape If I was the sky, I'd let it rain To wash away the pain, oh no If I was a bird, I'd fly away I'd spread my wings so I'd escape If I was the sky, I'd let it rain To wash away the pain [Verse 2: Marsha Ambrosius] Now why do I feel so alone Knowing I know I had you? And what made you turn around on me? Said what did I do? And when did love feel this way? So much pain and misery Where's thе you I once knew? And could you fly with me? [Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius] If I, if I, if I, if I, if I was a bird away Sprеad my wings so I'd escape If I was the sky, I'd let it rain To wash away my pain Oh, if I was a bird, I'd fly away I'd spread my wings so I'd escape If I was the sky, I'd let it rain To wash away, oh [Bridge: Marsha Ambrosius, Natalie Stewart] Now I can't stay You won't need me You could set me free, baby (Set me free so I can, you could just, you could let me fly) Could you let me fly away? (Please, fly with me) With me (With me) With me (Please, fly with me) With me, baby (Fly, just fly, come on) I would fly (I could fly, I could fly, if I, I'd fly) [Outro: Marsha Ambrosius, Natalie Stewart] I'd fly away, baby Said away so I'd escape into the sky, baby Said oh my, we could let it rain (If I, I'd fly) (So I, so I) I'd escape, baby, baby (If I, I'd rain to wash away the pain now) Fly away I'd spread my wings so I'd escape (Fly) If I was the sky, I'd let it rain To wash away the pain (Fly) If I was a bird (Fly, fly) Bird, yeah (Fly, fly, we flew, haha, we flew)
