The Bird That You Can’t See

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you 'bout the end of the beginning
Or of the end, depends on where you land
You came on the scene just as the plot is thinning
I’ll start again, and then you’ll understand

[Chorus]
It’s like the bird
That you can’t see
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree
It’s like the word
That you can’t say
But you can sing the pretty music anyway

[Post-Chorus]
You know I know there are some things that you need to discover
(Turn off your mind and do yourself a favor)
Girl
(Like the bird)
(That you can't see)
(It's part of you, whoo-ooh baby)
(It's part of me)

[Verse 2]
Girl, I can see behind your eyes your mind is spinning
As if your eyes can make the skies come clear
So you came in at the bottom of the inning
And no one knows just where we go from here

[Chorus]
It’s like the bird (like the bird)
That you can’t see (that you can't see)
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree
(It's a part of you, whoo-ooh, it's a part of me)
It’s like the word (like the word)
That you can’t say (that you can't say)
But you can sing the pretty music anyway
(It's a part of you, whoo-ooh baby, it's a part of me)

[Post-Chorus]
You know I know there are some things require concentration
(Turn off your mind and use your imagination)
C'mon

[Interlude: spoken]
That's right
Girl, you know what I'm talking about

[Bridge]
(Come down, plant your feet into the ground)
(Feel free, plant your mind in mystery)
Mystery
(Come down, plant your feet into the ground)
(Feel free, plant your mind in mystery)
Darling

[Verse 3]
So you want to know the meaning of my song?
I’ll tell you now, it’s all about how you feel
Baby I don’t know or care where you are from
Just so I know that where you go is real

[Chorus]
It’s like the bird (like the bird)
That you can’t see (that you can't see)
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree
(It's a part of you, whoo-ooh, it's a part of me, c'mon)
It’s like the word (like the word)
That you can’t say (that you can't say)
But you can sing the pretty music anyway
(It's a part of you, whoo-ooh baby, it's a part of me)

[Post-Chorus]
You know I know there are some things that you need to explain, girl
(Turn off your mind, you're using up your brain girl)
C'mon

[Outro]
(Like the bird)
(That you can't see)
(It's part of you, whoo-ooh)
(It's part of me)
(Like the bird)
(That you can't see)
(It's part of you, whoo-ooh baby)
(It's part of me)
(Like the bird)
