The Bird That You Cannot See

Let me tell you 'bout the end of the beginning

Or of the end depending where you land.

You came on the scene just as the party's ending

I'll start again and then you'll understand.

It's like the bird

That you can't see

But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.

It's like the word

That you can't say

But you can sing the pretty music anyway.

Now I know there are some things that you need to discover

Turn off your mind and do yourself a favour

(like the bird,

you can't see,

it's a part of you, woo

and it's a part of me)

Girl, I can see behind your eyes your mind is spinnin'

Cause if your eyes can make the skies come clear

So you came in at the bottom of the inning

And no one knows ( if whether ) you're from here

It's like the bird

That you can't see

But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.

It's like the word

That you can't say

But you can sing the pretty music anyway.

Now I know there are some things (that) require concentration

Turn off your mind and use your 'magination.

(girl you know what I'm talking about)

Come down and plant your feet into the ground.

Feel free; plant your mind in mystery.

So you want to know the meaning of my song?

I'll tell you now: it's all about how you feel.

Baby, I don't know or care where you are from,

Just so I know that where you go is real.

It's like the bird

That you can't see

But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.

It's like the word

That you can't say

But you can sing the pretty music anyway.

Now I know there are some things that you need to explain (girl)

Turn off your mind; you're using up your brain. (c'mon)

(like the bird,

you can't see,

it's a part of you, woo

and it's a part of me)
