Songbird

Said I’s gonna sing
A song for myself
But here I go writing again
Oh singing in front
Of folks I don’t know
When all i want to do
Is sing within
Here in my room and
Here in the night
With nobody but myself
Oh snug as a sparrow
Feathered in down
Warm up in my nest

My mama she told me
That I used to sing
Like a songbird in the night
Oh rain on the tin roof
Making up tunes
Oh half the night

Oh
All grown up
Oh who I am
Oh all grown up
Oh ohhh my my my

I’ve been walking for days
And walking for nights
And walking towards who I am
Oh I’ve been walking
Since I was a young young girl
And I’ll be walking until I’m dead
I don’t need no longing into my life
To take me away from my cause
Oh the cause of my days
The cause of my ways
The cause behind the cause

Oh so sing little songbird
Sing a song so bright
Ohhhhhh oh oh oh oh
Oh I’ll sing all night long
Oh I’ll sing all my life

The rain on the tin roof
Is beating real soft
And I'm here quiet and still
Oh I've got everything I need
In my own little heart
I'm happy free and well
A smile on my lips
To remind me that there is
Something deep inside
That can’t be capitalized on
Oh with anybody’s lies
I don’t need no man
To come into my life
And tell me how I've got to be
I just want to sing my yodeling
Songbird song
Oh for little old me
I do need to learn
To lean into my life
And walk up to who I am
Oh a woman who sings
A woman who rains
A woman who
Loves her own song

Oh so sing little songbird
Sing a song so bright
Ohhhhhh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
I’ll sing all night long
Oh I’ll sing all my life

In five billion years
The sun will explode
And life will cease to exist
This’ll be a cold dead rock
Just a spinning around
Its own axis,
This’ll be a cold dead rock
Just a spinning around
Its own axis

Oh oh all I want
Is to be alive
Oh and all i want
I've got my my my
Oh so sing little songbird
Sing a song so bright
Ohhhhhh oh oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I’ll sing all night long
Oh I’ll sing
All my life
