Why / Little Bird Lyrics
Why (x 5)
[Verse 1]
I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down and cry, cry, cry, yeah
[Verse 2]
I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
I wish I had the wings to fly away from here, yeah
[Chorus]
But mumma, mumma I feel so low
Mumma, mumma, where do I go?
Mumma, mumma, what do I know?
Mumma, mumma , we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best but
This little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed so
I've just got to put these wings to test
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ohh
Awww hawww
Ooh, ooh
Awww hawww
(X2)
[Verse 3]
For I am just a troubled soul
Who's weighted
(Weighted, weighted)
Weighted to the ground
(Weighted to the ground, weighted to the ground yeah)
Give me the strength to carry on
Till I can lay my burden down
(Lay my burden down, lay my burden down)
Give me the strength to lay this burden down, down, down, yeah
Give me the strength to lay it down
(Lay down, lay it down)
[Chorus]
But mumma, mumma I feel so low
Mumma, mumma, where do I go?
Mumma, mumma, what do I know?
Mumma, mumma , we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best but
This little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed so
I've just got to put these wings to test
Why (repeated)
But mumma, mumma I feel so low
Mumma, mumma, where do I go?
Mumma, mumma, what do I know?
Mumma, mumma , we reap what we sow
Why
We’ve just got to put these wings to the test
