lyrics

Hey little bird don't you hang your head
fill the world with your voice instead
It's hard to see past the bars of your cage
but I promise it won't always be that way

Because

Someday
We will be
Flying around
Doing as we please
Until then I hope you'll be
Saving your prettiest song for me

Hey little dog, I feel your pain
you howl all night and whine all day
It's hard to run on a three-foot chain
but I promise it won't always be that way

Because

Someday
We will be
Chasing around
Doing as we please
Until then I hope you'll be
Saving your prettiest song for me

Hey princess I hear your cries
from your prison up in the sky
But I promise there'll be hell to pay
when I find the man who locked you away

And

Someday
You and me
Will see the world
And do as we please
Until then I hope you'll be
Saving your prettiest song for me

And it goes

Hoo-Wee
Life is Sweet
Clap your hands
and stomp your feet
I love it when you sing along
Cause that's how we make the prettiest songs
