| Let me tell you 'bout the end of the beginning
|
| Or of the end depending where you land.
|
| You came on the scene just as the party’s ending
|
| I’ll start again and then you’ll understand.
|
| It’s like the bird
|
| That you can’t see
|
| But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.
|
| It’s like the word
|
| That you can’t say
|
| But you can sing the pretty music anyway.
|
| Now I know there are some things that you need to discover
|
| Turn off your mind and do yourself a favour
|
| (like the bird,
|
| you can’t see,
|
| it’s a part of you, woo
|
| and it’s a part of me)
|
| Girl, I can see behind your eyes your mind is spinnin'
|
| Cause if your eyes can make the skies come clear
|
| So you came in at the bottom of the inning
|
| And no one knows (if whether) you’re from here
|
| It’s like the bird
|
| That you can’t see
|
| But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.
|
| It’s like the word
|
| That you can’t say
|
| But you can sing the pretty music anyway.
|
| Now I know there are some things (that) require concentration
|
| Turn off your mind and use your 'magination.
|
| (girl you know what I’m talking about)
|
| Come down and plant your feet into the ground.
|
| Feel free; |
| plant your mind in mystery.
|
| So you want to know the meaning of my song?
|
| I’ll tell you now: it’s all about how you feel.
|
| Baby, I don’t know or care where you are from,
|
| Just so I know that where you go is real.
|
| It’s like the bird
|
| That you can’t see
|
| But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.
|
| It’s like the word
|
| That you can’t say
|
| But you can sing the pretty music anyway.
|
| Now I know there are some things that you need to explain (girl)
|
| Turn off your mind; |
| you’re using up your brain. |
| (c'mon)
|
| (like the bird,
|
| you can’t see,
|
| it’s a part of you, woo
|
| and it’s a part of me) |
