Like a fool in a foolish coat
Trying to be cool, but just being cold
I have seen the saddest thing
Not you crying, but that you're hiding it from me
No be free, just be as you like
And sing like a bird, and so in singing fly
Oh be free, but connected to the sky
And sing like a bird, and so in singing fly
Singing lie-dee-dee-die
I saw you shrink back into your sleeves
I saw you shrink until you disappeared from me
What do you hide from? What hides from us?
What kind of colours have we covered up and lost?
No be free, just be as you like
Yeah and sing like a bird, to the oncoming light
Oh be free, but connected to the sky
And sing like a bird, and so in singing fly
Singing lie-dee-dee-die
