Verse 1
Sitting under the
cypress tree I saw a
miracle flying
high
I tuned into the
song that she was
singing
The melody was an
honest friend and it
Felt like I was learning to
fly
But I fear I&rsq
uo;ll never kno
w the feeling
Chorus
It must be nice (it must feel
good) to just be heard
And it might
sound a bit a
bsurd
I’d
sing along wit
h the birds
I’d
sing along
if I only knew the words
I’d
sing along wit
h the birds, if I
only kne
w the words
Solo
Verse 2
Staring into the
wishing well has got you
Feeling a particular
way
You can’t sta
nd to see your own
reflection
So, toss a penny and
close your eyes
And
try to think of something to
say
And don’t waste
your wishes on
perfection
Chorus
It must be nice (it must feel
good) to just be heard
And it might
sound a bit a
bsurd
I’d
sing along wit
h the birds
I’d
sing along
if I only knew the words
I’d
sing along wit
h the birds, if I
only kne
w the words
Bridge
I’d master
every verse unt
il my spirit learn
ed to burst
Into the morning sun
While my heart is on the
run
Solo
Verse 3
All the wind in the
whistlin’ world
Could whip a
whisper any given
day
Just to see if there was
anyone to lis
ten
They say the April
rain will fall
To
resurrect the flowers of
May
You can’t know wh
o you love until you
miss them
Chorus
It must be nice (it must feel
good) to just be heard
And it might
sound a bit a
bsurd
I’d
sing along wit
h the birds
I’d
sing along
if I only knew the words
I’d
sing along wit
h the birds, if I
only kne
w the words
Solo
