lyrics

Get up, little birdie, and fly
The owl always comes for her fee
There's death shinnig bright in her eye -
You can't run, you can't hide

It's not like it wasn't our day
The oak doesn't break, it just sways
Spread your wings opened wide
Touch the sun, don't just fly

Wake up, dear, beside the old tree
Don’t you look the sky
There is grief in the night -

Can't you see?
Can't you see?

Come on, little birdie, you'll thrive
Contentment will come in its time
Don't bother to try -
Make it good and come back alive

Come on, come on, little birdie you'll fly
Come on, come on, little birdie you'll thrive
Come on, come on, little birdie and fly
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on!

Get up, little birdie, and fly
The owl always comes for her fee
There's death shinnig bright in her eye -
You can't run, you can't hide

Come on!
Come o-o-o-n!
