I was born from love, and my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book of Jesus 'Til I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again And I can still remember him with love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Never mind the forecast 'cause the sky has lost control 'Cause the fury and the broken thunders Come to match my ragin' soul And now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go I never wanted to go Mama, I never wanted to go

Songbird sings from the heart Each word can tear you apart I sing, you sing along You find your life in my song When you need the strength to carry on You've got me to turn to With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring They've helped you be strong now The song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Who sings for songbird Sometimes when I'm all alone I sing my saddest song Lonely and no one can see This time the song is for me I can touch your secret place inside And still you don't know me With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring You've learned to be strong now My song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Where is my songbird Where is my songbird Who sings his songs for me
