Do you see the sparrow singing?
Up in the trees, away from all the
Years and fears,
Distractions of life
Do you hear the oriel's orders?
Commands the crowd through crumbling forest
He calls for change
But it's a forbidden phrase
Bird song, bird song
You're delicate, and I'm so strong
Bird song, bird song,
How many years before you're gone?
Why do we feed the raven silver?
His pockets are full, but nothings delivered
Just one more war: a genocide
Can you find the finch's feathers?
They're plated in gold and shelved forever
In some 6-bath home
In Arlington heights
While there's 6 kids alone
On skid row tonight
Bird song, bird song
Your melody strings me along
Bird song, bird song
How many years before you're gone?
How will you feel when the birds stop singing?
When tufts of their skin, in treetops clinging?
And all of the bombs, do you hear them ringing?
Lets compromise
Fore our demise
Corruption ties
They cross all lines
