Sitting under the
cypress tree
I saw a miracle
flying high
I tuned into the song
that she was singing
The melody
was an honest friend
and it felt like I
was learning to fly
But I fear
I'll never know
the feeling
It must be nice
To just be heard
And it might sound
a bit absurd
I'd sing along
with the birds
I'd sing along
if I only knew the words
I'd sing along
with the birds
if I only knew the words
Staring into
the wishing well
has got you feeling
a particular way
You can't stand
to see your
own reflection
So toss a penny
and close your eyes
And try to think of
something to say
And don't waste
your wishes on perfection
It must be nice
To just be heard
And it might sound
a bit absurd
I'd sing along
with the birds
I'd sing along
if I only knew the words
I'd sing along
with the birds
if I only knew the words
I'd master every verse
until my spirit
learned to burst
Into the morning sun
While my heart
is on the run
All the wind
in the whistlin' world
could whip a whisper
any given day
Just to see
if there was anyone
to listen
They say the April rain
will fall
to resurrect
the flowers of May
You can't know
who you love
until you miss them
It must be nice
To just be heard
And it might sound
a bit absurd
I'd sing along
with the birds
I'd sing along
if I only knew the words
I'd sing along
with the birds
if I only knew the words
