Verse 1
Sitting under the cypress tree I saw a miracle flying high
I tuned into the song that she was singing
The melody was an honest friend and it
Felt like I was learning to fly
But I fear I’ll never know the feeling
Chorus
It must be nice (it must feel good) to just be heard
And it might sound a bit absurd
I’d sing along with the birds
I’d sing along if I only knew the words
I’d sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words
Solo
Verse 2
Staring into the wishing well has got you
Feeling a particular way
You can’t stand to see your own reflection
So, toss a penny and close your eyes
And try to think of something to say
And don’t waste your wishes on perfection
Chorus
It must be nice (it must feel good) to just be heard
And it might sound a bit absurd
I’d sing along with the birds
I’d sing along if I only knew the words
I’d sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words
Bridge
I’d master every verse until my spirit learned to burst
Into the morning sun
While my heart is on the run
Solo
Verse 3
All the wind in the whistlin’ world
Could whip a whisper any given day
Just to see if there was anyone to listen
They say the April rain will fall
To resurrect the flowers of May
You can’t know who you love until you miss them
Chorus
It must be nice (it must feel good) to just be heard
And it might sound a bit absurd
I’d sing along with the birds
I’d sing along if I only knew the words
I’d sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words
Solo
