Birds Are Us

lyrics

BIRDS ARE US

i am a pigeon
a sign of peace in times of war
can you see it from afar

i am a seagull
a ray of hope at sea
a sign that we urgently need

now start at one and count to ten
close your eyes and then
tell me what you see – is it that what you want to be

i am a thievish magpie
taking things which are not mine – you know
'cause i always get what i deserve anyhow

i am an owl
and all i know is that i don't know
anything you believe to know

i am everything that i wanted to be
a swan, a finch - you'll see
all i ever can imagine – in my dreams i'm able to slip in

but now you have to count from ten backwards to three
open your eyes again and tell me what you see
is it that what you want to be
are you really who you want to be

2012 auf Tour. Immer mit einer neuen Geschichte im Angebot, warum er heute Solo
unterwegs ist und nicht mit seiner achtköpfigen Band auftritt. ... more
