Birdie
Forgot you were gone and
Checked your room this morning
You're usually just waking up
Stretching and yawning
We boxed up the presents
We got you for Christmas
Since you couldn't make it
We're just going to mail it
Your mom cleaned your room
She said you're coming back soon
Sprayed your perfume
To make it smell like you
You made it to college
We couldn't be prouder
Looked through your high school yearbook
And cried for an hour
You did nothing wrong
You've got to move on
We're going to be strong
Accept that you're gone
You know your mom worries
No rush or a hurry
When you get this message
Call your dad back Birdie
If we want you to soar
Above the clouds some day
We'll tell you spread your wings
Birdie fly away
If we want you to soar
Above the clouds some day
We'll tell you spread your wings
Birdie fly away
Look at her go
Away in the wind
Hunger for life
Ready to win
Look at her go
Away in the wind
Hunger for life
Ready to win
If I could protect
You from the pain
I would but I can't
So fly
Birdie fly away
Birdie fly away
Up in the attic
Doing some packing
Found your old trophies
You got from gymnastics
Only six
When you learned how to flip
The smile on your face
From ear to ear
Hope I didn't wake you
I know it's kind of early
Were probably up studying
You'll call me back surely
You know your moms worries
No rush or hurry
When you get this message
Call your dad back Birdie
Look at her go
Away in the wind
A hunger for life
Ready to win
Look at her go
Away in the wind
A hunger for life
Ready to win
If we want you to soar
Above the clouds some day
We'll tell you spread your wings
Birdie fly away
If we want you to soar
Above the clouds some day
We'll tell you spread your wings
Birdie fly away
If I could protect
You from the pain
I would but I can't
So fly
Birdie fly away
Birdie fly away
Checked your room this morning
You're usually just waking up
Stretching and yawning
We boxed up the presents
We got you for Christmas

So fly
Birdie fly away
Birdie fly away
