lyrics

You can fly, cause you’ve got wings.
And you are free, cause you can sing.
But she cant fly, and I’m not free.
So I’ll sing my song to her, if you’ll sing it for me

You can fly, you sing for joy.
The sky is your home, the wind your toy.
Now take my song, and disappear.
Remember it well, so she can hear.

Fly...fly far, fly free.
Fly, bring her song back to me.

I live my life with a smile a second,
and I use these as a crutch.
But smiles cannot veil the fact,
that i miss you, so much.
I sing my song to the mockingbird, who shares it with the trees,
singing take this half of my broken heart, it does no good for me.

A fairytale, a fantasy,
a desperate wish, her and me.
Now I have wished on a thousand shooting stars,
but the sky is cruel, she's still so very far.

So fly, fly far fly free,
Fly, sail the winds of melody.

Do you have any clue how I envy you,
the sky being your domain?
My wings are broke my feathers soaked,
by a never ending rain.
Sometimes I could just hack this tree, tear it limb from limb,
rip my mockingbird from the sky, and see if it wont sin.
If I could i would if I should I might let this songbird fall,
but all that's left is to let it repeat the injustice of it all.
Yes all that's left is to let it repeat the injustice.

So I’ll live my life with a smile a second,
and use it as a crutch,
Deceiving all, fooling none,
I miss you, so much.
The subtle song of a mockingbird, its wings a beating blur,
takes this song of my broken heart, to deliver it to her.

You can fly, but I’m not free
I cant get to her.
Please tell her this for me.
