Good song. I really like the interplay between the acoustic guitar and electric piano. The strings add a good depth just when needed. Good vocal delivery and great arrangement, Neil young like?, really liked this, thanks.

"Little Bird" is a unique blend of 1960's era Folk music, combined with a more modern-sounding musical arrangement that might work really well in a period film, documentary, or in television in the exact, right sync situation.

Lyrics
Verse 1
What you see is what you get
in this evil world that times forgets
It's dog eat dog, the mean survive with no regrets
Some will come and some will go
to distant lands with dark shadows
destined to fall deep into the abyss below
Chorus 1
But are you holding on to a rope that's tied
to nothing else on the other side
Are you gonna fly, go fly away
back to tomorrow or to yesterday
Verse 2
Little bird I think you know
through winters, famine, rain and snow
the secrets of the heavens and earth below
Little bird, can't you see
I'm just like you and you're like me
We sing our song in solidarity
Repeat Chorus 1
Bridge
Just come on, little bird, come down from the tree
Just come along, little bird, come sing your song with me
Verse 3
But were you born to run or were you born to fight
Don't be that sacrificial lamb tonight
Just kick and scratch, and scream with all your might
The canary stuck in the coal mine
It's not your fate, not your time
Your destination, freedom, yours and mine
Chorus 2
But do the tears of sunshine fill your eyes
and you just can't see those rainbow skies
Are you gonna fly, go fly away
back to tomorrow or to yesterday
