lyrics

I wanted to fly but I had no wings
So i sat and i watched a Robin sing
She darted her head from right to left
She tucked in her wings and she puffed her chest out

Why won’t she fly, i asked myself
Why does she stay so near the ground
If i could fly, if i had wings
I’d leave this rotten earth beneath

This robin stood so near to me
I could see her pulse through her small red chest
And she didn’t flinch when i called out
She just hopped to the left and she puffed her chest out

Why won’t she fly, i asked myself
Why does she stay so near the ground
If i could fly, if i had wings
I’d leave this rotten earth beneath

Not the snap of a branch or a falling twig
Or the thud of a door or a foxes scream
Or the blare of a horn or the cry of a babe
Could scare this robin off and then

And then she sang, she sang to me
As the sun came out and the heat kicked in
She sang to the brambles and the roses hips
As I pressed the blossoms to my lips

If I could fly, if I had wings
I’d fly back down to hear the robin sing
She’d sing to brambles and the roses hips
As I pressed the blossoms to my lips
