i saved a bird today

frampton, peter

i heard her at the back door

the little-wing bird

lying there

it should've been

the end for her

was she going somewhere?

did she have a place to be?

perhaps

today

was on her way

to rescue me

sometimes you fly

on top of the world

sometimes you cry

sometimes it hurts

we all need somebody

to understand

we all need somebody

lend a hand

i could see some movement

an idea came clear

to care for one another is

the reason we are here

i wrapped her in a blanket

the sky falling stray

took her to the river

and watched her get away

sometimes you fly

on top of the world

sometimes you cry

sometimes it hurts

we all need somebody

to understand

we all need somebody

lend a hand

sometimes you fly

on top of the world

sometimes you cry

sometimes it hurts

we all need somebody

to understand

we all need somebody

lend a hand
