Name: Little Bird
Duration: P00H05M22S
Description: This song was literally written about a Bird that I watched out of my window for a few days and it landed in the same spot for nearly a week, I became fascinated and was convinced it came to hear me sing as it always came around the time I practiced, so I wrote the song and then one day it didn't come back :/ and I haven't seen it since

lyrics

Each day I sit and look out of my window
At the lonesome bird that sits across the way
I can’t stop my mind from thinking
Why he doesn’t fly away

Little bird, why do you still sit there?
Little bird, it’s time for you to go
Little bird, you need to live your life out to the full
So go and find your way

The very next day, I gaze out through the glass
I’m not surprised to see him sitting there
Just peering over the tall trees and the buildings
I wonder what he’s looking for
I wonder what he’s looking for

Little bird, why do you still sit there?
Little bird, it’s time for you to go
Little bird, you need to live your life out to the full
So go and find your way

I see you sitting on the roof
You must think how sad my life must be
To be trapped in my own cage
Never able to be free
Then you spread your wings and fly away
Leaving me in jealousy
To stare out through the bars
With no lock and no key

Little bird, why do you still sit here?
Little bird, it’s time for you to go
Little bird, you need to live your life out to the full
So go and find your way

Began to write music upon turning 12, Starting a debut album Birth Of The Bird near the time my grandma passed on. Consisting of songs based on real life events that happened during early 2008, with later albums, continuing along that theme. I produce songs that are full of emotion, so they end up becoming stories more than songs. ... more
