Birds Of Paradise
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): Pretenders



Who are you
who am I? Is it real
do we touch the sky?
Nothing's real - all disguise
said the birds of paradise
I'm afraid
can't you see
tell me where do you carry me
You will soon realize
said the birds of paradise
Flying home
flying home to the land that
you once have known

To the peace that once was
true for a little girl
like you
Flying home
flying home from a world
that is made of stone
Till your heart is light
and free like it once was
meant to be
How can I go ahead when my
eyes are becoming wet?
Save your tears - dry your eyes
said the birds of paradise
But the times passing by
say how long do we have to fly?
Moon will set, sun will rise
said the birds of paradise
Flying home
flying home to the land that
you once have known

Flying home
flying home from a world
that is made of stone
Till your heart is light
and free like it once was
meant to be
Hear the sound
see the light
now I know that our way was right
Morning sun can make you wise
said the birds of paradise
