There are places that I remember
You sung in the night
And it turned into day
Well they're saying
That you have gone quiet
They say that you hide your love away
But they don't know you
The way that I know you
With your little vices
They are fencing you in
And all of the others
Those girls and their circles
If you could see in their eyes
When you start to sing
You're a songbird
And we ain't seen nothing
We ain't seen nothing
Little songbird
Don't hide it away
Show your heart to the world
And never stop singing
Don't you ever stop singing
One of these days
You'll believe when we say
You're a songbird
God made you that way
Time changes things
It moves like a freight train
And I know that time
Hasn't always been kind
Oh and all of the others
Those boys and their circles and their circles again
If they could see the fire in your eyes
Every time that you sing
You're a songbird
And we ain't seen nothing
We ain't seen nothing, nothing at all
Little songbird
Don't hide it away
Show your heart to the world
And never stop singing
Don't you ever stop singing
One of these days
You'll believe when we say
You're a songbird
God made you that way
He made you that way
So show us what you're made of
Show us what you're made of
And one of these days
You'll believe when we say
You're a songbird
God made you that way
