You won't believe What you're meant to be When you lie to yourself Suitcases full of dreams Don't waste them on routine Take the time off the shelf As you gather up your crumbs Your pride is feeling numb You know you lose and learn Don't blame another soul For the happiness they stole Because you're feeling more And more Like a bird in an airport Who never sang his song Sweet melody of the brave Like a bird in an airport Who knows how long He can go Until he finds his way? Take another flight With books to read or write On your own time Open up those wings Trade the winds of spring For your own kite Lay over where you like Just south of winter's sight You know you're living more Grab another coat And those poems That you wrote Too important to ignore Like a bird in an airport Who never sang his song Sweet melody of the brave Like a bird in an airport Who knows how long He can go Until he finds his way?
