Why so careful with your words?

Why the worry?

You are free as the birds.

Let your feathers furrow, quit being so reserved.

Walk to the next rooftop.

Why so careful with your words?

They will forget what they heard.

Fly north for the winter.

You are free as the birds.

Branch out and remove your thick furs.

Pop out from the twigs of trees.

Why so careful with your words?

People are wrapped in their own wings so

talk can be cheap.

You are free as the birds.

Rise and shine, our eyes are blurred.

You may sing us to sleep.

Why so careful with your words?

You are free as the birds.
