ryan montbleau LYRICS 

SONGBIRD

 

Sweet little songbird sitting on a wire

Sing the fire from your belly so small 

Sound waves roll and the waves spread wider

You sing your song till it's six feet tall 

And walking, talking, stalking down the side walk

Wearing clothes standing side by side, now 

Fly little song birds on to the next stop

You sing your song you look each other in the eye, like 

 

Who all can tell you not to sing your story?

Who all can tell that you that you’re singing off key

You are the dance, you are not the dancer

You are the song, not the one who sings 

 

Beautiful song, songbird

Beautiful song, songbird

Beautiful song, songbird 

Oh, you tell the truth 

 

Me moo man Trinny got a wild ‘magination

He think they’re looking when he walk on by

He think the world is one big big mirror

Him get upset and then he don't feel right 

 

When he walking, talking, stalking down the side walk

Sporting clothes, strutting stride by stride

I tell him, Trinny you are not what you consider

I stop him dead when I look him in the eye and say 

 

Who all can tell you not to sing your story

Who all can tell you that you’re singing off key

You are the dance, you are not the dancer

You are the song, not the one who sings 

 

Beautiful song, songbird

Beautiful song, songbird

Beautiful song, songbird 

Oh, you tell the truth 

 

You get upset and then you don't feel, you don't feel right

You try to fly up straight and you fly uptight

You try to talk about life, like it's all in advance

Life is the dancer, you are the dance 

 

So beautiful song, songbird

Beautiful song, songbird

Beautiful song, songbird 

Oh, you tell the truth
