Look Like a Bird

I wanna look like a bird

Careless, weightless and free

I wanna look like a bird, bird

Careless, weightless, and free

To perch like a yellow hammer

To have a grackle's gate

To wander marigold blossoms

Or feather and fly away

Like the tree grew for standing

And they stand for me

Like the tree grows branches

And they stand for me

I wanna look like a bird

Scissor wings and split the sky

I wanna look like a bird, bird

Like I know what it is to fly

Like I don't know about falling

Or what it is to cry

To look like a bird, careless in the world

Like tears are foreign to my eyes

Like a bird

Like a bird

Like a bird

Like a bird

I wanna look like a bird

Stare raven, cold and mean

Night hawk, night birds

See through everything

Like I don't care or grieve

Like I've never been drunk on wine

Oh, to look like a bird

Weightless in the world

Careless on the vine

Like a bird

Like a bird

Like a bird

Like a bird

I wanna look like a bird

Like I was mean to sing

I wanna look like a bird, bird

Like I know my place world

Like I know my place in the world
