歌詞

[Verse 1]
I'm 7 years old, I'm running through a field
I'm a city boy, but I like how it feels
I'm not gonna stop, I'm alive and I'm free
Just like a bird, unless mum says it's tea
[Verse 2]
So I took off my shoes, took off my socks
I'm running bare feet, I'm hop-scotching rocks
But look out for stingers, they'll hurt your bare knees
Then you have to stop and find a doc leaf
Which can take ages
[Verse 3]
Then into the woods, I'm surrounded by trees
Something appears that I've never seen
It's big and it's golden, an extraordinary bird
It's one of a kind, I've discovered the first
[Verse 4]
It's a bit like a parrot, but we don't have those here
But as soon as I saw it, it just disappeared
But I could never forget such a wonderful sight
Turned myself around and ran back inside
[Verse 5]
Call the local museum, it'll be the front of the paper
Do I need an agent? Worry about that later
It'll make it on Newsround, be the best day I've had
Be the talk of the playground, but first, I'll tell Dad
[Verse 6]
He said, "I don't mean to be unpleasant
But that bird's not a discovery, it's a pheasant"
[Verse 7]
But I'd be soaring if I just saw him again
Yeah, I'd be soaring if I just saw him again
[Verse 8]
Now I'm just old, or at least that's what they say
I sit in this chair, I'm too tired to play
And they call this a home, but I know it's not mine
I don't do much running, I've run out of time
[Verse 9]
Once in the week, these girls come and sing
Breaks up the day and helps me to think
I drift off to the notes, I don't catch all the words
In my head, I run, and remember that bird
[Verse 10]
I'd be soaring if i just saw him again
Yeah, I'd be soaring if I just saw him again
[Verse 11]
Then, as if by magic, what seemed like a thousand birds
Burst through the windows into the communal lounge
The room is awash with gasps, and bright, beautiful color
By night, each game bird had been individually saved
From a local shooting field, it was highly illegal
A cunning plan compiled by one ingenuitive grandchild
[Verse 12]
Now I'm soaring, soaring again
A cacophony of squarks and everybody gets up to dance
Now I'm soaring, soaring again
One particularly fine specimen is currently perched on Agnes' head
Now I'm soaring, soaring again
A pair of females attempt to eat a series of Scrabble letters
That spell out "inedible", it's a triple-word score
Now I'm soaring, soaring again
[Verse 13]
Geoff, the care worker, mutters he's not seen anything
Like it in these parts
Not since the Strictly final
Now I'm soaring, soaring again
