The birds they sang, break of day
'Start again' I hear them say
It's so hard to just walk away

The birds they sang, all a choir
'Start again', a little higher
It's a spark in a sea of grey

The sky is blue, dream that lie 'til it's true
Then taking back the punch I threw
My arms turn wings oh those clumsy things
Send me up to that wonderful world
And then I'm up with the birds

Send me up to that wonderful world
And then I'm up with the birds

Might have to go where they don't know my name
Float all over the world just to see her again
But I won't show or feel any pain
Even though all my armour might rust in the rain
A simple plot, but I know one day
Good things are coming our way
A simple plot, but I know one day
Good things are coming our way
Oh yeah!
