VERSE 1 :
City bird, haven't you heard
Hasn't anybody told you?
These city blocks can't hold you
Your place is in the sky how can I show you?
VERSE 1 :
City bird haven't you learned
of the boundlessness of your freedom
The sky is your blue kingdom
You neglect your wings like you don't need them
CHORUS :
City bird maybe these hands that feed you need you
Maybe you understand that city bird
