Bird Gone Wild

[Verse 1] Daddy was an electrician, fingers to the bone Mama was a seamstress, stitched everything she owned Crossing the Atlantic, a dream over the tide Soldiers, we were ready there, approaching the front line [Chorus] Don't let me down I'm beating 'round a cage like a bird gone wild Come back around Strong hands, pull back the wire [Verse 2] Strange thoughts and images of what awaited me My mind was painting pictures only I could see A traitor, I was too far gone and belonged to either side Now I’m alone, they return way behind the tide [Chorus] Don't let me down I'm beating 'round a cage like a bird gone wild Come back around Strong hands, pull back the wire [Outro] Don't let me down I'm beating 'round a cage like a bird gone wild Come back around Strong hands, pull back the wire Don't let me down I'm beating 'round a cage like a bird gone wild Come back around Strong hands, pull back the wire Pull back the wire
