Young Robin lyrics

Song : Young Robin



 Send "Young Robin" Ringtone to your Cell 

 												
														   I'm a young robin way up hig,

too old for the nest, too young to die,

watching the jays and the grackles sail by,

calling me bad names.

I know I could fly
if I wanted to,

I know I could fly if I
wanted to,

I know I could fly if I wanted
to,

I don't want to , right now.

One
of my brothers tried too fast

and his first
flight was his last-

I saw him flopping
around in the grass

and that fat cat saw
him too.

Dad sit singing at the top of the
tree.

Mom floats by and says to me

take your time, just wait 'til you're ready

just watch me for awhile.

Oh, I know you
could fly if you wanted to,

I know you
could fly if you wanted to,

I know you
could fly if you wanted to,

Do you want to,
right now?

I'll just ease out where the tree
meets the sky,

and wait for a good breeze
blowing by

and spread my wings and close my
eyes-

Here goes nothing.

I knew I
could fly if I wanted to,

I knew I could
fly if I wanted to,

I knew I could fly if I
wanted to ,

And I want to, I want to, I want
to,

Right now.
