Little Bird lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't catch a bird that don't want catchin'
I can't make it sing its song for me
Freedom all alone, well, that's a cage all its own
Freedom on your own ain't really free
No, little bird, that ain't what it means

[Verse 2]
And I won't take the wings you're used to havin'
I just wanna brush them with my hands
Freedom all alone, well, that's a wing made out of stone
Freedom on your own ain't really free
No, little bird, that ain't what it means

[Chorus]
Even freedom needs some fences
Even blue skies need the ground
Though you think it's gonna hurt
Even you, little bird, need the feelin'
Of comin' down, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm

[Verse 3]
And I don't want the colors that you're flashin'
I know that's what everybody sees
Freedom all alone, well, that's a way to never show
Anybody what's really underneath
No, little bird, that ain't what it means
[Chorus]
'Cause even freedom needs some fences
Even blue skies need the ground
Though you think it's gonna hurt
Even you, little bird, need the feelin'
Of comin' down

[Outro]
Freedom all alone, well, that's a cage all its own
Freedom on your own ain't really free
No, little bird, won't you come on down to me
