-i’m here staring at a bird in a tree
- lying still only wishing he was me
’cause for a bird it’s not a crime
to try and satisfy his bird belly hunger
or fly the blue belly sky
and from his bird’s eye view
he can pick and he can choose
he doesn’t have to grieve his spirit
though he doesn’t have to lose
a moment’s joy there in his nest
no matter what his mess,
he can barrel out his chest
and he can fly away
but i’m pinned down in my -bed again,
i don’t think i can fly (i wouldn’t try)
if i was a bird, i would -be content
to peck along the ground ’cause
i’m pinned down again
(solo starts)- - -
-i’m here staring at a bird on a limb
-lying still, only wishing i was him
’cause -i can use a haven, a nest above my fate
call it rest from the chasing of
my pillow and my plate
and for a bird it’s always right
to love his appetite
he’s too dumb to know the struggle,
too weak to know the fight
he can fly C]south when it gets cold,
-sing until he’s old
and on a whim he can unfold
his wings and fly away, hey-heh-yea
but i’m pinned down in my bed again,
i don’t think i can fly (i wouldn’t try)
if i was a bird i would be content
to peck along the ground ’cause
i’m pinned down again
yeah, i’m pinned down again
yeah, i’m pinned down again

(softer)
i’m here staring at a bird in the air
i wonder what i’d see if i looked down from there
i’d see a shattered temple,
all it’s members in a sweat
everyone has been degraded,
every sermon - they forget
- -
i’d see a -man pulled from his bed
by the same Hands of love
that hung a cross around his neck
just to remind him, remind him, who he wa

ooh, when -i’m pinned down in my -bed again,
i don’t think i can fly (i wouldn’t try)
if i was a bird i would be content
to peck along the ground and be pinned down
yeah, when -i’m pinned down in my -bed again,
i don’t think i can fly (i don’t wanna try)
if i was a bird i would be content
to peck along the ground and be pinned down
yeah, when -i’m pinned down in my -bed again,
i don’t think i can fly (i don’t wanna try)
if i was a bird i would be content
to peck along the ground and be pinned down again
