Lyric

The songless bird is in its cage

Staring at the scenery

From the window, day by day

Deep in thought, it fades away

My world is such a tiny place

Even the sky is just a fake

So close that I can touch it

With a hand that starts to shake

I know the real sky is so high

So vast and wide above

But from where I am

I'll never reach the one I love

With a voice that has no sound

I’m singing with all my might

Of course, there’s no one here to listen

In the middle of the night

But if my song could reach someone

Maybe you would notice me

Just a little bit... is that too much to plea?

The slow and steady flow of time

Is more than enough to let me

Be forgotten by the world

A fading, distant rhyme

When was it that I was left behind?

I can’t remember the day

Because you won't wake up

And the light has turned to gray

I’ll never hear that nostalgic voice

Saying "Good morning" or "Goodnight"

Not here, not anymore

In this dim and lonely light

If we could meet again someday

On the other side of time

Will you call my name once more

In that melody and rhyme?

Then I’ll fly around you freely

On my wings so light and small

And I’ll rest upon your shoulder

The safest perch of all

Just like back then

I’ll sing with every breath I take

Until you’re tired of the music

That I’m making for your sake

As long as this life continues

As long as I draw breath

I'll keep spinning these verses

To keep from forgetting

How happy I was... even after death

I’ll squeeze out every bit of voice

Hoping it reaches you so far away

If I could sing like I did back then

In the light of a brighter day

Maybe you would notice me

Just a little bit, somehow

And if you looked at me

And smiled like you used to do

That would be enough

I'd be so happy, too
