People
They can be so unkind
If they're not happy
If they can't speak their mind
But unwind the needle
Just to find
One more line, one more line
People
They got something to say
They can be carried or be carried away
But it takes bricks and mortar
To speak your mind
So keep putting 'em down
Put 'em down
That bird had a song to sing
Something to say
Is it still here?
Or has it flown away?
Oh this morning
It had something to say
Is it still here?
Or has it flown away?
Well it reminds of a time
Where my memories fade
Thoughts ain't sharp unless they're laid
But if I can't remember
Will I feel it again?
All I need's a piece of paper and pen
But you can take a photograph
Or you can just be there
Do you need to remember?
Or can you just be there?
If I kept my promise
Would we still be friends?
If I remembered will I feel it again? Yeah
That bird had a song to sing
Something to say
Is it still here?
Or has it flown away?
Oh this morning
It had something to say
Is it still here?
Or has it flown away?
Sometimes I question and I wonder
Why I just can't say
Anger can take your mind
'Til it's carried away
But it's just not fair
It don't make no sense
But I wrote it down
I wrote it down
