Lyrics
Long ago I ran to the light
Seeking harbor far from the stormy night
There I saw the dawning day
One flew away
Pigeons on a telephone line
Waiting for permission 'fore they can fly
There they were and there they'll stay
'Til one flew away
One flew away
I have a fire burning deep inside
And it only exists to rise higher
I have a fire that cannot be denied
And I'm not like that bird on a wire
Clamp me down on all that you are
If you think it can't be done then right you are
You don't have an experience
It is what you are
I have a fire burning deep inside
And it only exists to rise higher
I have a fire that cannot be denied
And I'm not like that bird on a wire
Bird on a wire
Bird on a wire
Bird on a wire
I am a light with lots of oil but not too blind to see
Life's longing for more
Stormy skies will pass us by, do not be blind to see
You've been here before
Long ago he turned on the light
Windows everywhere to the short of sight
Just another hometown day
'Til one flew away
I have a fire burning deep inside
And it only exists to rise higher
I have a fire that cannot be denied
And I'm not like that bird on a wire
I have a fire burning deep inside
And it only exists to rise higher
I have a fire that cannot be denied
And I'm not like that bird on a wire
Bird on a wire
Oh, bird on a wire
Yeah, bird on a wire
