Red Bird

Looking down from up above
the word has passed you by
you raise your hands to understand
your face up to the sky.
All the times they spoke to you
everything you’ve heard
the said it all for the love of the red bird.

Falling out from under you
the world you thought was right
You did the things you had to do
to keep the line of sight.
All the times they spoke to you
and twisted every word
they did it all for the love of the red bird.

You are looking in the sunlight
trying to keep inside a bright light
you can keep it for the day.
Well you were kicking in the sideline
from the rear of the frontline
the the red bird flew away.

Faces look up higher now
there’s nothing on the ground
We’re doing all that we can do
to turn your mind around
All the things we’ve shown to you
everything you’ve heard
take it all from the love of the red bird.

Time to smile and leave behind
there’s always time to laugh,
In all your years of doing time
you haven’t lived enough
leave the things they told to you
every single word
it’s time to turn from the love of the red bird.

try to look into the sunlight
and let the red bird fly away.
