fly away little birdie, into the sky
above all the earth, soaring so high
fly away little birdie, just doing your thing
you got the breath of God under your wing
im here down below
hands in the dirt
coughing and scratching
aching and hurt
and i see you fly
in the clouds above
i get all chocked up
and full-up with love
i'm here down below
bending and scrape
moaning and crying
in an awful shape
and i see you perched
top the tallest tree
and i think maybe someday
that bird could be me
i'm here down below
choking and sweat
barely hanging on
and deep into debt
and i see you fly
in the heavens so blue
and i think maybe someday
i could do what you do
