lyrics

That family must have been so tired
The corners of their mouths and their ties touched just right
They really needed a small boy tonight

The head needed to be humbled
His confidence always stripped and fumbled
The mother needed love and the kids saw their dead dad in the woods
And they didn't tell us for two weeks

A boy would come and his shadow would cast all that aside
A shadow and light, learning the childeren a tide
His confidence glowed oh so unlike dad
Man, Peter you crow
Make the boys follow and the girls go mad

The boy who looked in the window and learned betrayal in what he saw
Many months had been spent in the gardens with the birds and just a nest to call home
His mind still young took in what it saw at a great cost
Now his mom is the sky and his real mother shut him out and left him to die

This is a bird's life
Stealing children and making families alright
You can only learn from the birds how to fly and fight like a sharp taloned hen
And this is how a baby is
How it forgets and almost forgives
His vanity is his only saving grace

Boy why are you crying?
I know you've come to save me
