Letra Songbird - Crash Test Dummies

Songbird

I listened to a bird\nthat told me all\nHe seemed to make no sense as I recall\nI listened to the bees, their buzzing sounds\nTold nothing of the purpose of their rounds\nThe claws that tear, the fangs that bite\nThe placid pond, the bird in flight\nThe lion stalking 'round his kill\nThe flowers purpose on the hill\nI looked out at the trees that gently swayed\nThey didn’t need to know how they were made\nI wondered if the world kept something hid\nDenied to me, for something that I did\nThe claws that tear, the fangs that bite\nThe placid pond, the bird in flight\nThe lion stalking 'round his kill\nThe flowers purpose on the hill\nI listened to a bird that told me all\nHe seemed to make no sense as I recall\nSo far I haven’t heard a songbird sing\nA single verse that told me anything\nThe claws that tear, the fangs that bite\nThe placid pond, the bird in flight\nThe lion stalking 'round his kill\nThe flowers purpose on the hill
