I MET A BIRD
I met a bird who wouldn't fly, who wouldn't sing He wouldn't look at me, I tried everything His mind is troubled, that much I can tell Then he turned around and said "my life is hell" 'cuz the fat cats are circlin', the rent they're callin' in They kicked him to the ground like it's some sort of sin I met a bird who thinks now it's sink or swim This ain't right, let's start all over again We'll pray for better days from down on our knees You're gonna fly to the top of the trees Oh my feathered friend, how you do belong The sun is rising on yet another dawn We've seen better days, now that much is true Might I suggest we all start something new Now my bird has got determined eyes I heard him say, to my surprise Before I grow old, until rust turns to gold I'll make a better place, let my story be told I met a bird who's only outlook was dim I held out my hand and he hopped in There are days when we don't feel so well Don't base your happiness on what others sell But the land sharks are circlin', the loans they're callin' in And I said don't worry, let the outcry begin and again and again oh Now all the birds were callin' out from the trees We'll make a better world, no apologies He built a nice house, with neighbors dropping in I wave to him with a wink and a grin I met a bird who learned to fly, who learned to sing He has everything and feels like a king He has everything just like a king He has everything, they call him The King |
