City Bird

City bird,
Haven't you heard?
Hasn't anybody told you?
These city blocks can't hold you;
Your place is in the sky,
How can I show you?

City bird,
Haven't you learned
of the boundlessness of your freedom?
The sky is your blue kingdom.
You neglect your wings,
Like you don't need them.

City bird,
Maybe these hands that feed you
Need you.
Maybe you understand that, city bird.

City bird,
Maybe these hands that feed you
Need you.
Maybe you understand that, city bird.

City bird,
Haven't you heard?
Hasn't anybody told you?
These city blocks can't hold you.
Your place is in the sky,
How can I show you?
