those who trust to fate, and those who trust themselves. two points of view.

lyrics

Saw a little bird sitting on a limb
high in the briarwood
so many things revealed to him from the shadows where I stood

He had some ribbon and a piece of string
for his love when she came home
far away, she was on the wing
and the little bird all alone,
the little bird all alone

I said, "if wings could carry me, I'd ride the wind and sail away
but fate has claimed my destiny from the shadows where I stay"

"Fate is nameless by design," the little bird said to me,
"And she never was a friend of mine,
and I know she'll never be, I know she'll never be."

And it's a long, long way
a long, long way
but come someday
I'll fly away
