Yellow bird take up your wings to the sky
Try to remember you were meant to fly
Awaken your instincts and feel the wind
Open your heart and just sing
Head above all the clouds
As you look to the sky
Tomorrow will bring peace for you and I
Take your broken wings and just believe
What's in your heart and fly
Freedom comes and then it goes
Like happiness, nobody knows
What they really want
I've heard it said our heart decides
When to change our state of mind
But I'm wounded by this tarnished pride
Those dues that I've paid
Well, some were filled with lies
Too late for regrets
I've got to keep on rising
Pure as the morning Sun, into the sky
Remember the first time you leaned to fly
Yellow bird, spread your wings
Head for heaven's gate into the light
