Lyrics If I Were A Bird - Howlin' Wolf

If I Were A Bird

If I were the bird
I’d spread my wings and fly away
I’ll go with the heaven
Look down and smile
I can travel the world
Way down below me
Wish I could help
But know I don’t know
If I were the preacher
I’d be so brave
Praying for all the good people
Who lost their way
And settle their fight
With their brother
When there should be love
Try to help each other
If I rule the world
I rule it with love
Its what we need
What you shall do
We need more understanding
And free love
And we can make it
Just shoot thought above
We need more love
We need more love
We need more love
We need a little love
