bird on the wind

some of us will have to lose

and some will have to win

but to know just where to go

you must know where you've been. nothing ventured

nothing gained

there's nothing left to lose

except to find out for yourself

the things you always knew. if you want to fly

like the bird on the wind

you've got to give it

give it everything. if you want to fly

like the bird on the wind

you've got to give it

give it everything. don't you think it's strange the way

the mood can come and go?

one day you are riding high

the next you're riding low. everyone has something special

that is truly theirs

so to make the highest good

we all must learn to share. if you want to fly

like the bird on the wind

you've got to give it

give it everything. if you want to fly

like the bird on the wind

you've got to give it

give it everything. some of us will have to lose

and some will have to win

but to know just where to go

you must know where you've been. nothing ventured

nothing gained

there's nothing left to lose

except to find out for yourself

the things you always knew. if you want to fly

like the bird on the wind

you've got to give it

give it everything. if you want to fly

like the bird on the wind

you've got to give it

give it everything.
