Watch This Bird Fly

VS. 1
I had a dream I jumped from a plane
with my parachute wrapped in chains
earth was rising I was falling fast
I wished it wasn’t so overcast
so you could see me

CHORUS
Watch this bird fly
I’m sixty-five hundred feet high
I’m gonna tumble through the sky and hit the ground
hit the ground running

VS. 2
All my life, I’ve lived this way
had a feelin’ I would be okay
I guess my spirit had to risk my skin
I guess I’m nothing if I’m not all in

CHORUS
Watch this bird fly
I’m sixty-five hundred feet high
I’m gonna tumble through the sky and hit the ground
hit the ground running
Touchdown Main Street
into a sea of concrete
I’m gonna land on my feet when I hit the ground
Hit the ground runnin’

BRIDGE
Fear is my enemy
fear is your enemy
fear is our enemy
fear is our enemy
Fear is my enemy, death is my friend
from those sweet ashes I rise up again
Fear is my enemy, death is my friend
from those sweet ashes I rise up again
Fear is my enemy, death is my friend
from those sweet ashes…

CHORUS
Come on and watch this bird fly
oh I’m Sixty-five hundred feet high
I’m gonna tumble through the sky and hit the ground
hit the ground running
Touchdown Main Street
into a sea of concrete
I’m gonna land on my feet when I hit the ground
hit the ground runnin’
Touchdown mainstreet
(hit the ground runnin’)
Land on my feet
I’m gonna land on my feet
when I hit the ground
