lyrics

Well I know a little sparrow
She sings quietly
Doesn't go far
From the backyard
But she sings her songs for me

Well I can't say that I blame her
I know how it is
Singing feels like coming home
But flying is quite a risk

Sticks and stones might build a home
Up there on that ledge
Songbird don't get caught up
In your safety nest

I've been out on a limb once or twice
So far out it hurt
When the branch I put my dreams on cracked
And came tumbling down to earth

I've been out on the road a thousand times
Never liked that part
I could pack a suitcase with both eyes closed
But only with half of my heart

Sticks and stones might build a home
Up there on that ledge
Songbird why don't you fly
From your safety nest

Sticks and stones might build a home
Up there on that ledge
Songbird why don't you fly
From your safety nest?

Songbird I'm begging you
To leave the safety nest
