Songbird sing
songbird fly
these hammers and strings
will write you a lullaby
blossom in the sun
the sand crawling on your skin
songbird is at home, where she deserves to be
i'm high above
you're down below
but these words and melodies
will have me heard
baby wind blows me away
it's always spring when you're with friends
home is where the heart is
and you wear it on your sleeve
let the whole world hear you sing
"Já sei namorar
Já sei chutar a bola
Agora só me falta ganhar"
winning and losing
double standard all the way
lullabies that will never end
the whole world is at your end
lost but always looking ahead
songbird fly
fly away
the laces of monotony that were wrapped around you
they have gone away
a cord at last remains
dreams are treaded
and lives are bred
the breaths you've stolen
only they remain
surprise the world once again
no one has heard you
and once you start
you won't stop again
songbird fly
songbird sing
stretch your golden records for wings
(we'll teach the world how to live)
(This is for you. I probably shouldn't have to tell you, but you'll get everything once you read it. "Eu falo portuges")
