A bird above my head, I've heard its call before

It's a rhythmic chirping that drives me up the wall

I have to learn to tolerate as the bird is in my brain

It comes and it goes, it puts me in my place

And sometimes it leads me on the wildest wild goose chase

When will I feel it in my heart?

When will I feel it in my heart?

When will it change and when will I start

To feel that I can play a part?

Make any difference in any real way

Turn my back to the games that we play

Waking to find that I don't hear that sound

And the same feelings spinning around

In a corner, in a cage

In a box or in a frame

Just trying to keep from locking myself in or out

And now I feel I'm going mad

A sneaky feeling that I've been had

That the joke is on me

For taking it too deep

But I listen to the birds

And then can't seem to get to sleep

When will I feel it in my heart?

When will I feel it in my heart?

When will it change and when will I start

To feel that I can play a part?

Make any difference in any real way

Turn my back to the games that we play

Waking to find that I don't hear that sound

And the same feelings spinning around

When will I feel it in my heart?

When will I feel it in my heart?

When will it change and when will I start

To feel that I can play a part?

Make any difference in any real way

Turn my back to the games that we play

Waking to find that I don't hear that sound

And the same feelings spinning around

When will I feel it in my heart?

When will I feel it in my heart?

When will it change and when will I start

To feel that I can play a part?

Make any difference in any real way

Turn my back to the games that we play

Waking to find that I don't hear that sound

And the same feelings spinning around

When will I feel it in my heart?

When will I feel it in my heart?
