Fly away little bird   Any place in this open mouthed world   Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't rest   Everyone's got a need to go   Most of us stick with our row to hoe   But not you, you're the black crow   With a straight line, and no time   For the birds of prey who wreck your nest   Twice your size steal your best   They set you on this course of your collision      I am a stop along your way   I am the words you'll never say   I crossed the great beyond of fear   I opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view   You went there too      Fly away little bird   Find the song in you that no one's heard   Strenghthen your wings as you sing your solo flight   Through this short life   Everyone's got a deep regret   We try to ground ourselves to forget   But your race to the end is neck and neck   You love them, you love them not   The birds of prey who wreck your nest,   Twice your size steal your best   They set you on this course of your collision      I am a stop along your way   I am the words you'll never say   I crossed the great beyond of fear   Opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view   And you went there too      But all along your chosen path are   Window panes and sheets of glass   That you won't see   You fly too fast   One day it will be over      Fly away little bird   The saddest song I ever heard   Was the one that I wrote you in my heart   That never made it to the world
