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
