Lyrics

29 People

29 people, laughing slowly, I just stare down at my shoes
29 people, I?m feeling lonely, I never know just what to do
?Cause in my mind, I see the answer
And in my hand, there lies a clue

?Cause I?m free as a bird now, there?s no need to shove
I?m flyin? high above, like a little dove, shootin? out my love
You?re free, to shoot that bird now, such a sight to see,
Shootin? back at me, everybody please, I never felt so free

29 people, I still feel lonely, how so many from so few
29 people, in the front row only, I raise a toast to all of you
?Cause now I see a 100,000
a 100,000 knows what to do

?Cause I?m free as a bird now, there?s no need to shove
I?m flyin? high above, like a little dove, shootin? out my love
You?re free, to shoot that bird now, such a sight to see,
Shootin? back at me, everybody please, I never felt so free

? free as a bird now, there?s no need to shove
I?m flyin? high above, like a little dove, shootin? out my love

? free as a bird now, there?s no need to shove
I?m flyin? high above, like a little dove, shootin? out my love
You?re free, to shoot that bird now, such a sight to see,
Shootin? back at me, everybody please, I never felt so free
