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
