Lyrics

We leave home, expecting to find a bluebird,

We set out from home, hoping for a positive outcome or experience.

Hoping every cloud will be silver lined,

Anticipating that every difficulty will eventually have a positive resolution.

But we all return,

Despite our aspirations, we all eventually return home.

And as we live we learn

Through life experiences, we gain knowledge and understanding.

That we left our happiness behind.

Realizing that, in our pursuit, we may have left our happiness behind.


The bird with feathers of blue

Referring to a bird with blue feathers, symbolizing something special.

Is waiting for you,

Indicating that this special thing is patiently waiting for the person.

Back in your own back yard.

The special thing is found in one's familiar surroundings.

You'll see your castle in Spain

Metaphorically, seeing one's dreams or aspirations.

Through your window pane,

Suggesting a positive outlook on life through a window of opportunity.

Back in your own back yard.

The special thing is found in one's familiar surroundings.


Now you can go to the east,

Despite traveling in various directions (east or west).

Go to the west,

Regardless of the paths taken, there is a return to the starting point.

Bit some day you'll come,

At times, weariness sets in, leading back to the origin.

Weary at heart, back where you started from.

Returning to the initial state or place where one began.


You'll find your happiness lies

Happiness is often found in familiar and overlooked places.

Right under your eyes,

Suggesting that happiness is within one's immediate surroundings.

Back in your own back yard.

The special thing is found in one's familiar surroundings.


The bird with feathers of blue

Reiteration of the bird symbolizing something special.

Is waiting for you,

The special thing patiently awaits the person's return.

Back in your own back yard.

Emphasizing that the special thing is in one's familiar surroundings.

You'll see your castle in Spain

Metaphorically, seeing one's dreams or aspirations.

Through your window pane,

Suggesting a positive outlook on life through a window of opportunity.

Back in your own back yard.

The special thing is found in one's familiar surroundings.


Now you can fly to the east,

Despite traveling in various directions (east or west).

Fly to the west,

Regardless of the paths taken, there is a return to the starting point.

Bit some day you'll come,

At times, weariness sets in, leading back to the origin.

Weary at heart, back where you started from.

Returning to the initial state or place where one began.


You'll find your happiness lies

Happiness is often found in familiar and overlooked places.

Right under your eyes,

Suggesting that happiness is within one's immediate surroundings.

Back in your, your own back yard.

The special thing is found in one's familiar surroundings.
