Lyrics

It must be cool to be a bird.
It must be cool to spread your wings,
And let the wind carry you away,
And not give a damn about worldly things.
It must be cool to be a bird.

It must be cool to fly around.
Acting like you own the sky.
Soaring with the grace of gods.
It must feel wonderful to fly.

And I'm a firm believer, that I was born
A human being by mistake.
And though I love being in human form.
I think I'd like to be a bird, for just a day.

I wish I had the eagle's eye.
And the hawk's intelligence.
I wish I had the swan's beauty.
And the old owl's good sense.

And I'm a firm believer, that I was born
A human being by mistake.
And though I love being in human form.
I think I'd like to be a bird, for just a day.

When I'm watching a bird.
All my problems go away.
And when I look into the air.
I take a slow deep breath and say,
"It must be cool to be a bird."
