lyrics

make this a thing of lightness or a fortress no one can take
the thickest bush of brambles will host a flock of birds
go ahead run into darkness
sometimes we all want for some rest
make sure to bring some matches though
hold them closely to your chest

for in there your songbirds are singing
though your thicket it grows thicker by the year
worms and seeds and crumbs to thrive
it don't take much
to keep an itty bitty songbird alive

you keep busy growing briars
it's time to stand your ground these days
knifes all stacked at the ready
tread very carefully-they say
who would dare to tell you
waging war never made no peace
those battles just take it out of you
when your heart could do with ease

for in there your songbirds are singing
though your thicket it grows thicker by the year
worms and seeds and crumbs to thrive
it don't take much
to keep an itty bitty songbird alive

sun sets on an empty desert
inch by inch the ground sighs in relief
all critters coming forth
it's time.

for in there your songbirds are singing
though your thicket it grows thicker by the year
worms and seeds and crumbs to thrive
it don't take much
to keep an itty bitty songbird alive
