Little Bird

In my life I've been compared to a little bird I've got to spread my wings You nested in my bed And I came alive now I can fly I was given something real But I didn't understand how to use it I danced around my fears Like my mothers before but I abused it And mama's dancing in the backyard She's been asking these question for a long, long time She's been rolling her chances just to pass it on Passing it on Passing it on Tell me loving mother where are you headed? 'Cause where you been don't bother me Step away from the darkness and get back to where you ought to be Through this life you give There is an answer, all you gotta do is believe This little bird you've been brooding has gone free And soon will you be released Mama's dancing in the backyard She's been asking these question for a long, long time She's been rolling her chances just to pass it on Passing it on Passing it on Mama's dancing in the backyard She's been asking these question for a long, long time She's been rolling her chances just to pass it on Passing it on Passing it on Passing it on
