Lyrics for Song: Little Bird
Lyrics for Album: Diva
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 now, now I feel so low
now, now, where do I go?
now, now, what do I know?
now, now, 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

Little Bird
Annie Lennox's 'Little Bird' stands as a defining track from her 1992 album 'Diva,' capturing the raw energy and emotional vulnerability characteristic of her work during this pivotal era. Released following her departure from Eurythmics, the song showcases her signature blend of folk-rock instrumentation and powerful vocal delivery, establishing her as a solo force in the alternative music scene. The recording reflects the post-punk revival influences that permeated the early 90s, yet retains a distinctively personal touch that resonated with audiences worldwide. As a centerpiece of the 'Diva' catalogue, the track exemplifies Lennox's ability to craft songs that are both commercially successful and critically acclaimed, cementing her legacy as a vocalist whose voice transcends genre boundaries. |
