The rarest of birds
Flies outside my window
I see her all the time
Looking through the glass
I think of times I tried to catch her
When I got too close, away she’d fly
I shouldn’t have to fall to my knees
I shouldn’t have to fall to my knees
I shouldn’t have to fall to my knees
Just to hear her song
The rarest of birds
Doesn’t fly south in winter
Hides herself away in the pines
Builds a nest up high
Where she knows that I can’t reach her
Even though I will always try
I shouldn’t have to fall to my knees
I shouldn’t have to fall to my knees
I shouldn’t have to fall to my knees
Just to hear her song
I wouldn’t put her in a cage
With the door locked tight
I’d leave myself if she’d remind me how to fly
Just want something
To cut through this noise
I just want to hear her voice
I shouldn’t have to fall to my knees
I shouldn’t have to fall to my knees
I shouldn’t have to fall to my knees
Just to hear her song
