For The Birds by Keziah Who Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You ask me where I am today
And I say I’m far from you
And that isn’t where I’d like to stay
Above my head, you taunt me
Spreading your wings
Moving with ease
To better days, to better places, yeah
They say “all that is for the birds”
But why can’t I be a bird?
Why can’t I live like a bird, uh

[Chorus]
Why can’t I live like a bird, huh?
Why can’t I live like a bird, huh?
Why can’t I live like a bird, huh?
Why can’t I live like a bird, huh?

[Post-Chorus]
Fledgling
How did you get so free?
What does it taste like?
Do you think it’d suit me?
Can I try your freedom on for size
Can I try it on for size?
'Cause there’s nothing I want more in life
Nothing I want more in life
Can I try it on for size?
Can I try your freedom on for size?
'Cause there’s nothing I want more in life
Nothing I want more in life

[Verse 2]
I look upon your feathers, fledgling
You are ready
You’ve been ready
Since you broke the shell
Quills to be dipped in life
Things to be seen that
I can only dream of, fledgling
How I wish to have a view like you do
But they say all that is for the birds, though
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

[Outro]
Who decided
All that is for the birds
Who decided
Freedom is for only the birds
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
