Get up, little birdie, and fly The owl always comes for her fee There's death shinnig bright in her eye You can't run, you can't hide
It's not like it wasn't our day The oak doesn't break, it just sways Spread your wings opened wide Touch the sun, don't just fly
Wake up, dear, beside the old tree Don't you look the sky There is grief in the night
Can't you see? Can't you see?
Come on, little birdie, you'll thrive Contentment will come in its time Don't bother to try Make it good and come back alive
Come on, come on, little birdie you'll fly Come on, come on, little birdie you'll thrive Come on, come on, little birdie and fly Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on!
Get up, little birdie, and fly The owl always comes for her fee There's death shinnig bright in her eye You can't run, you can't hide
