Lyrics
Little bluebird of happiness, where'd you go? Why'd you leave the nest?
Given on our wedding day, why couldn't you stay?
Little bluebird of hopes and dreams, I think I'm lost or so it seems.
Shattered and so broken, I wish I could believe.
Chorus
God, please help this broken bluebird fly.
Release the anger round our heart so we can try.
Or else our lives together will end.
God, please help this broken bluebird mend.
Verse 2
Living bluebird in a new day's light, perched on a branch, you look so right.
Unlike me, you don't question - the cold or the sun.
Little bluebired, if I could try - your simple faith then I might rise.
Bluebird won't you tell me? Does forgiveness set you free?
Repeat Chorus
God, please help this broken bluebird mend.
