Music & Lyrics by John Harper

lyrics

If I was a bird, I’d fly away
If I was a bird, I’d fly away
Through the clear winter sky, I’d keep you in my eye
But if I was a bird, I’d fly away

If I was a bear, I’d come to you
If I was a bear, I’d come to you
I’d come to you, you’d know just what to do
If I was bear, I’d come to you

If I was a fish, I’d make a wish
If I was a fish, I’d make my wish
In the deep blue sea, no one could find me
If I was fish, that’s what I’d wish

But I ain’t a bird nor a bear
I ain’t no fish, and I don’t care
I’m just a man, feat of clay, heart of sand
Bound to the earthen dusty land
Bound to the earthen dusty land

No one knows just how to live
No one knows what’s to forgive
In the world’s deep heart, it’s breaking all apart
So I’ll be a bird and fly away
So I’ll be a bird and fly away
So I’ll be a bird and fly away
