Lyrics
Hey little bird how'd you find your way inside
Addressing a small bird and questioning how it entered.
All these thistles and thorns in my side
Referring to challenges and difficulties faced.
Wish that I would have hid away with you
Expressing a desire to hide away with the bird.
Left you dying in a cage never meant for two
Regret for leaving the bird in a difficult situation.
Hey little bird if you can't go higher
Encouraging the bird to aim higher in life.
Hey little bird if you can't try
Reiterating the call for the bird to make an effort.
Even broken wings will get you little further down the line
Broken wings can still make progress despite challenges.
Hey little bird can you find the will to fly
Asking the bird to find the willpower to fly.
The blue sky just one big hole in your life
Describing the vastness of the sky as a void in life.
The heavens they ain't answering your song
Suggesting a lack of response from higher powers.
They don't know the words you've been crying all along
Noticing the bird's unheard cries and struggles.
Hey little bird if you can't go higher
Repeating the call for the bird to aim higher.
Hey little bird if you can't try
Reiterating the importance of making an effort.
Even broken wings will get you little further down the line
Emphasizing that progress can still be made with limitations.
Hey little bird did you know that sticks and stones
Acknowledging that challenges can lead to a better future.
Can build a better home
Suggesting that difficulties can contribute to building a home.
A better home in time
Highlighting the concept of improvement over time.
Hey little bird if you can't go higher
Repeating the call for the bird to aim higher.
Hey little bird if you can't try
Reiterating the importance of making an effort.
Even broken wings will get you little further down the line
Emphasizing that progress can still be made with limitations.
Even broken wings will get you back home in time
Suggesting that even with broken wings, one can return home eventually.
