[00:12.71]I look up to the little bird
[00:18.93]That glides across the sky
[00:27.75]He sings the clearest melody
[00:34.00]It makes me want to cry
[00:41.63]It makes me want to sit right down
[00:45.63]And cry, cry, cry, yeah
[00:50.63]I walk along the city streets
[00:56.96]So dark, with rage and fear
[01:04.38]And I, I wish that I could be that bird
[01:12.80]And fly away from here
[01:20.29]I wish I had the wings to fly away from here, yeah
[01:27.83]But mamma, I feel so low
[01:32.29]Mamma, where do I go?
[01:35.90]Mamma, what do I know?
[01:39.98]Mamma, we reap what we sow
[01:43.97]They always said that you knew best
[01:46.93]But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
[01:51.65]I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
[01:54.57]So I've just got to put these wings to test
[02:11.58]For I am just a troubled soul
[02:18.30]Who's weighted
[02:20.53]Weighted to the ground
[02:26.41]Give me the strength to carry on
[02:33.30]Till I can lay my burden down
[02:40.52]Give me the strength to lay this burden down, down, down, yeah
[02:49.79]Give me the strength to lay it down
[02:53.31]Lay it down, lay it down
[02:56.08]But mamma, I feel so low
[03:00.48]Mamma, where do I go?
[03:04.36]Mamma, what do I know?
[03:08.27]Mamma, we reap what we sow
[03:12.11]They always said that you knew best
[03:15.01]But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
[03:19.95]I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
[03:23.49]So I've just got to put these wings to test
