Story Behind The Song
One day I saw some birds walking by gossiping. What's their story I thought to myself. Surely one of them will wake up and escape their drab and shallow existence.

Lyrics
This Bird (will fly away_)
This Bird is living in a cage
She's worried about her age
Is scared of the bigger stage
She's all candy and fairy floss
Throws the good away at too great a cost
This bird is stuck in the past
Can't make a good thing last
I think her die is cast
This bird must fly
This will fly away
There's a world outside
There's a sun in the sky
Maybe the world is kinder
When you fly a little bit higher
On to a new horizon
This bird will fly away (5)
This bird doesn't want to stay
Doesn't need to enter the fray
Be dragged down by the clever repartee
(MIddle 8)
This bird will fly away
