Window from the Sky by Mac Leaphart Lyrics

[Verse]
Little bird perched on the ceiling fan
Won't let me lend him a hand
Help him find his way outside
Birdie just fly straight
You’ll be free
Don't seem that difficult to see
Every door in the house is open wide

[Verse]
Little birdie got me thinking about a long-time friend
Stuck in a corner he got backed up in
Maybe he likes that corner fine
But he's tired of the sermons and the lessons preached
We’ve been reaching out, but he can't be reached
That don't mean you just quit trying

[Chorus]
'Cause it's never easy as it seems
To find your wings and fly
It's tougher than it has to be
Sometimes you just can't tell the window from the sky
[Verse]
And I get caught up reeling in my own head
With all the "could've been"s and "might’ve said"s
And standing still’s about the only place that leads
It's just the brightest threads of a woven past
When you’re dumbstruck staring at the greener grass
Paying no mind to the weeds

[Chorus]
Yeah, it's never easy as it seems
To find your wings and fly
It's tougher than it has to be
Sometimes you just can't tell the window from the sky
Oh it’s hard to sometimes

[Bridge]
Well it'd been about an hour
And I'd tried everything
So I thought I'd force his hand
Or in this case, his wing
I went and grabbed myself a broom
When he saw that broom
He flew right and straight and fast into the night
God, he flew so high I thought he'd hit the moon

[Chorus]
Yeah, it's never easy as it seems
To find your wings and fly
It's tougher than it has to be
Sometimes you just can't tell the window from the sky
It's tougher than it has to be
Sometimes you just can't tell the window from the sky
