GLASS BIRD
Little glass bird
Why do you look toward the sky
You have no feathers
Or wings to help you fly
And still you dream a dream
Of something you’ve never seen
Oh blue bird, fly
Little glass bird
So fragile and so dear
You don’t know pain
Or sorrow or fear
So why are you so blue?
Did I do that to you?
Little blue bird, cry
Ooo
Little glass bird
You’ve held your place there for so long
Tired and numb
You forgot your own song
You just sit and stare
When there’s a world for you out there
Oh blue bird, try
Ooo
And still you dream a dream
Of something you’ve never seen
Oh blue bird, fly
Fly
Fly
FINGERS CROSSED
On again, off again
Scratching my head when
You sugarcoat words meant to kill
I know that you’re full of shit
But I’ll still try for it
Even if you never will
I know, I know, I know
It’s not worth the trouble
People say, “Screw that guy,
He isn’t worth your time,
He don’t love you like he should”
No matter how rough it gets
I’m still an idiot
Can’t see the bad through the good
And I know, I know, I know
It was over long ago
But don’t take away my dreaming
There’s still time for redeeming
I know to retreat
When hope is lost
But I got my fingers crossed
I’m damned if I swim for it
Or if I stay on this ship
Either way I’m gonna drown
Clinging on to the mast
Until the very mast
If it’s sinking, I’m going down
I know, I know, I know
I should have just let go
But don’t take away my dreaming
There’s still time for redeeming
I know to retreat
When hope is lost
But I got my fingers crossed
And I know, I know, I know
I’m scared of changing though
So don’t take away my dreaming
There’s still time for redeeming
I know to retreat
When hope is lost
But I got my fingers crossed
I still got my fingers crossed
SECOND CHANCES
Is there a heaven in the stars for me?
Come justice or come mercy?
Is there someone looking down on me?
Is there someone watching now?
I felt it in the atmosphere
Threaded finer than cashmere
But sometimes it disappears
Am I fading now?
Am I fading now?
Am I fading now?
Faith it seems
Is hard to keep
But it’s back in view
And my aim is true
Behind the scenes
A plan for me
In step, in time
I won’t miss it twice
Iridescent in the light
You’ve gotta look at it just right
Coincidence or grand design?
Or one and the same?
Yeah I’ve fallen down before
Unaided, I went to war
But I no longer can ignore
The calling of my name
The calling of my name
The calling of my name
But faith it seems
Is hard to keep
But it’s back in view
And my aim is true
Behind the scenes
A plan for me
In step, in time
I won’t miss it twice
Is there a heaven in the stars for me?
Come justice or come mercy?
Is there someone looking down on me?
Is there someone watching now?
