He runs to the water's edge To feel the sea To smell the air To feel he's free He does not really need to see
To this unhappy child He's a no - no No, no he cannot see
Told about water Told about fire (it bites) Told about birds They're wild and free They're everything he dreams to be Everything his mind can see
No, no, no, no, no, no No, no you'll never see
Never see water Animals slaughtered Never see daylight Never see fire Alone in the dark His mind sets him free He becomes wild and free
Birds in the trees I see they can breathe fire I see, I see my mother She's a liar I'm flying higher Screaming to my mother You're a liar
Yes! I'm a yes yes Now my eyes can see
Up through the clouds Swoop past the sea Through my bedroom window Over the city To my home in the sky I wanna cry
A letter to mum says "Goodbye Mum" This is goodbye
Remember how I cried You said I lied You didn't believe me You didn't believe me I could walk through walls Grow ten feet tall Touch the ceiling Be a special child
I rise to my feet Walk through my wall Turn the corner Grow ten feet tall I run to the water's edge I'm standing on the cliff edge
I run back Back a few feet I turn I turn around I run
I run to the cliff edge Run to the cliff edge Run to the cliff edge Run to the cliff edge
I'm a bird in flight I'm a bird in flight I'm wild I'm free I'm wild I'm free A bird in flight (I'm wild) A bird in flight (I'm free) A bird in flight (I'm wild) A bird in flight (I'm free).
