Mama's like a bird now Her soul's got wings to fly With freedom, hope, and dignity She soars the eternal sky With keen eyesight she watches me From her perch upon her tree Making sure her young one's safe Mama's like a bird now
Mama's like a bird now Sitting on my shoulder Sometimes she feels so close I think that I can hold her When her feathers brush my face They leave behind a lovely trace Of what my mama used to be Mama's like a bird now
Mama's like a bird now I think it's not so bad She sings a beautiful song to me When I'm feeling sad One day I think I'll be one too Til then I know just want to do Keep all of mama's dreams alive Mama's like a bird now
