Lyrics

I look up to the little bird That glides across the sky He sings the clearest melody It makes me want to cry It makes me want to sit right down And cry, cry, cry, yeah I walk along the city streets So dark with rage and fear And I, I wish that I could be that bird And fly away from here I wish I had the wings to fly away from here, yeah But mamma, I feel so low Mamma, where do I go? Mamma, what do I know? Mamma, we reap what we sow They always said that you knew best But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed So I've just got to put these wings to test For I am just a troubled soul Who's weighted Weighted to the ground Give me the strength to carry on Till I can lay my burden down Give me the strength to lay this burden down, down, down, yeah Give me the strength to lay it down Lay it down, lay it down But mamma, I feel so low Mamma, where do I go? Mamma, what do I know? Mamma, we reap what we sow They always said that you knew best But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed So I've just got to put these wings to test I feel so low Mamma, where do I go? Mamma, what do I know? Mamma, we reap what we sow Put you one more time
