Every day I look up to the sky and see you,
There you are, free and happy,
Soaring amidst the clouds.
Oh, little blue bird, if you only knew how much I envy you.
You have everything I wish for.
You don't know what I would give to see the world through your eyes.
Oh, little blue bird, if you only knew how you fill my heart with sadness.
You have everything I wish for.
You don't know what I would give to feel the wind on my face.
Oh, little blue bird, if you only knew how much anger you stir in me.
You have everything I wish for.
You don't know what I would give to feel the sea breeze in my hair.
Oh, little blue bird, if you only knew the compassion I have for you.
Now, you are just like me,
Trapped in a cage with no escape,
With no idea of what your future holds.
Oh, little blue bird, now it's you who envies.
