Sing now little birdy, please don't rush to fly
Your dreams will take you far, far, far away from human eyes
I know the wind is calling you by your name
But if I let you go then everything will have to change
Your sister and brother have gone
I'm holding on to this last song
And all I can do is sing along
Fly away now little birdy
Out of this cage that I have made
The great big world is ready for you
I will be waiting
Just tell me it won't be long
Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, fly, fly away
People always tell me how brave I must be
I don't know if it counts if I still replay your melody
I hope you write me letters and ask about my day
But even if you don't, I'll pretend that you're asking anyway
My coffee is getting colder
I still feel you on my shoulder
The truth is I'm getting older
Fly away now little birdy
Out of this cage that I have made
The great big world is ready for you
I will be waiting
Just tell me it won't be long
Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, fly, fly away
I hope that you will soar now
In everything you do
Let the sky be all you hoped for
As you head towards the blue
Towards the blue
Fly away now little birdy
Out of this cage that I have made
The great big world is ready for you
I will be waiting
Just tell me it won't be long
Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, fly, fly away
