For the ones who escape, yet want to return home.

lyrics

What are you doing on the shore?
You were meant for so much more.
Fly away, little bird, fly away.
What is there for you on the ground?
What is left you haven’t found?
Fly away, little bird, fly away.

You have wings, unlike I.
You were born to soar and fly.
Fly away, little bird, fly away.
The wind will take you far from here.
Far from sorrow, far from fear.
Fly away, little bird, fly away.

You thought you’d find salvation here between the sea and the sand.
Worn and old, confused and cold, yes this I understand.
What’s meant to be for you and me? You know I’d lend a hand,
But you won’t find it here no matter where you land.

I would love to come along,
But my arms just aren’t that strong.
Fly away, little bird, fly away.
Though I leave here cold and tired,
You should live your life inspired.
Fly away, little bird, fly away.
