Why don't these problems just go away?
Time should have healed our old heartache
Childhood just would not be overcome
Mistakes that were made could not be undone
I tried my best but it's too late
Taking care was just my fate
You are still young and free and fun
Break those chains and you can run
Little bird
Why not go live in London?
I heard you have a friend there
Maybe with her you would stay
Little bird
Why not go live in London?
Go out and see the world
Come on, you've never left her land
Little bird
There's such a strength inside you
Like a seed waiting for the rain
Little bird
If the doctor hasn't told you
You are beautiful and so very full of grace
Why don't these problems just go away?
Time should have healed our old heartache
Childhood just would not be overcome
By the grown-ups that we've become
Little bird
Why not go to Paris?
There is a drummer there
I know he took your breath away
Little bird
Why not go to Paris?
See some old paintings
And all those shops in the Marais
Little bird
Trust your intuition
Don't be scared to let someone inside
Little bird
Our nest was all broken
But spread your wings and know that you can fly
Why don't these problems just go away?
Taking care was just my fate
The future is yours
What can you dream?
Don't let the past rule everything
