Allison Conrad - Little Bird Lyrics

Little bird how did you end up here
Your wings are clipped you cannot take to the air
Little bird why is it that you weep
Is it for the promises that no one ever keeps

Everyone here plays a different game
Think you know the rules but they never stay the same
One small misstep you end up a pawn
Have you finally learned
Life is nothing like a song

Fly little bird to the corners of your mind
Where the lions cannot reach you
Where you keep the truth inside
Sing little bird sing the songs they want to hear
Let them think they've seen your weakness
They don't know there's strength in fear

Hunters are coming for your head
You can run and hide or use a women's power instead
Never underestimate a pretty face
Play the sweet and delicate just to win their praise

Fly little bird to the corners of your mind
Where the lions cannot reach you
Where you keep the truth inside
Sing little bird sing the songs they want to hear
Let them think they've seen your weakness
They don't know there's strength in fear

Who is holding the hour glass
Who is counting the sand
Will this moment be your last
Or will you leave crown in hand

Fly little bird to the corners of your mind
Where the lions cannot reach you
Where you keep the truth inside
Sing little bird sing the songs they want to hear
Let them think they've seen your weakness
They don't know there's strength in fear
