Oh little bird, tell me why do your wings cry
Did someone hurt you, left you lonely in the sky
Now I see red begin to bleed in the night
But don't falter
It's the sun just starting to rise
These dented hearts, oh, they only pull us down
So we'll build walls tall enough to keep love out
Still we're all searching for a home to call our house
In this city
Flying endlessly
So take me into the light
Oh 'cause I miss the warmth of your love
And I swear I'll make things right, oh
My little bird
Don't sprain your leg
My love
Just rest your weary head
And we'll freefall
And we'll freefall
Oh little bird, take a breath when you feel drowned
'Cause no one told us what's it like up in the clouds
Still we're all living like a king that's lost a crown
Still searching, believing to believe
And after all's been said, we'll stay awake
And after all the lights fade away
