Some might say
He's ahead of his time
Some might say
He's out of his mind
But he's just a man with a simple plan
One we're not ready for
Oh he knows it's for the best
To lay down and rest
Oh, little bird of peace
We've let you down once more
Oh, maybe one day
We'll know what you meant
And why you had to fly away
Some might say
The fight goes on
Some might say
The dream is dead and gone
But he's just a man who planted a seed
And won't be around
To see the tree grow strong
For the grassroots are long
Oh, little bird of peace
We've let you down once more
Oh, maybe one day
We'll know what you meant
And why you had to fly away
And why you had to fly away
And why you had to fly away
And why you had to fly away
