lyrics

atie my girl I don't know why,
you do not see me for
the ways that you are
but I'm so in love with you
I don't know about you

staring so blankly, just filling time
finally you open, and you're heavy on wine
but it's only part of you
there so much more you could do

I was just looking, for truth of the song
the child of the free bird the bringer of the song

You were one, you were one,
You wrote the bird song,
I was just singing along.

I've always tried to fraternise with my
idols and heroes with the sparks in their eyes
'cause I wanted to be like you
but now I'm not sure if I do

I was just thinking you were born to run
a child of the free bird the bringer of song

you were one...

I guess I was just lucky, I was born around
the gifted who are givers, they gave me their song
and they were free like birds
in the ways they used their words

I was just looking for truth of the song,
the child of the free bird, the bringer of the song

You were one...
