Young Robin |
| I’m a young robin way up hig |
| Too old for the nest, too young to die |
| Watching the jays and the grackles sail by |
| Calling me bad names |
| I know I could fly if I wanted to |
| I know I could fly if I wanted to |
| I know I could fly if I wanted to |
| I don’t want to, right now |
| One of my brothers tried too fast |
| And his first flight was his last- |
| I saw him flopping around in the grass |
| And that fat cat saw him too |
| Dad sit singing at the top of the tree |
| Mom floats by and says to me |
| Take your time, just wait 'til you’re ready |
| Just watch me for awhile |
| Oh, I know you could fly if you wanted to |
| I know you could fly if you wanted to |
| I know you could fly if you wanted to |
| Do you want to, right now? |
| I’ll just ease out where the tree meets the sky |
| And wait for a good breeze blowing by |
| And spread my wings and close my eyes- |
| Here goes nothing |
| I knew I could fly if I wanted to |
| I knew I could fly if I wanted to |
| I knew I could fly if I wanted to |
| And I want to, I want to, I want to |
| Right now |
