Go on with your song, bird,

you can't go wrong, bird,

you will go on and on, bird,

like you did before.

 

Though your wings are broken

the sky is so wide open,

and the wind is waiting for you

like an open door.

 

Though you go so far away,

your voice will still be heard so well,

you'll never really ever know

how beautiful you are.

 

When the moon is on the rise

I'll try to make my songbird fly,

I wonder if he ever will

and, if he really did, how far.

 

Go on with your song, bird,

you can't go wrong, bird,

you will go on and on, bird,

like you did before.

 

Though your wings are broken

the sky is so wide open,

and the wind is waiting for you

like an open door.

 

Though you go so far away,

your voice will still be heard so well,

you'll never really ever know

how beautiful you are.

 

When the moon is on the rise

I'll try to make my songbird fly,

I wonder if he ever will

and, if he really did, how far.

 

Go on with your song, bird,

you can't go wrong, bird,

you will go on and on, bird,

through the open door.

 

Go on with your song, bird,

you can't go wrong, my bird,

you will go on and on, bird,

like you did before,

like you did before.
