Little Bird (House of Gypsies (Todd))

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

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

But mamma, I feel so low

Mamma, where do I go?

Mamma, what do I know?

Mamma, 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

For I am just a troubled soul

Who's weighted

Weighted to the ground

Give me the strength to carry on

Till I can 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 it down, lay it down

But mamma, I feel so low

Mamma, where do I go?

Mamma, what do I know?

Mamma, 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

I feel so low

Mamma, where do I go?

Mamma, what do I know?

Mamma, we reap what we sow

Put you one more time
