Annie Lennox - "Little Bird" (Live)

I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
and cry cry cry
I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
And I...
I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
I wish I had the wings to fly away from here

But my my I feel so low
My my where do I go ?
My my what do I know ?
My my we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best
But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I've just got to put these wings to test

For I am just a troubled soul
Who's weighted...
Weighted to the ground
Give me the strength to carry on
Till I can lay this burden down
Give me the strength to lay this burden down down down yeah
Give me the strength to lay it down

But my my I feel so low
My my where do I go ?
My my what do I know ?
My my we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best
But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I've just got to put these wings to test

From the prospective of a co-dependent relationship... this song represents flying the nest :) Love this song!

I knew she could sing but never realized what kind of power and range she has. Very impressive. When was this recorded?

The first verse really describes how I feel about leaving the town I'm in right now. Moving to bigger and better things next week! WOOHOOOOOO!

[missladybug007]

She sings like a bird, I think she has wings too. She's just an angel in so many ways for this world we live in.

Totally fabliass! Annie: you always have been, and always will be, the most tremendous female songBIRD of all time.

"The Whitest Soul Singer Alive" was how VH1 described her, and in this concert (Live in Central Park) she demonstrated how strongly she can put on a performance that nearly transcends rapture. [Also if you listen closely, you can hear the sound changing between the rehearsal and the live performance.]
