In Swahili

Chorus:

In Swahili there s a saying that the word is broken English
In Swahili there s a saying every key has a lock
In Swahili there s a saying the world is small it s just a ship
If you don t do it you won t gain
It s your dreams conquer them
They say true words are never beautiful, but listen

Verse One:

Come on out little bird
Don t hold back, face your fears
I understand your predicament but
the nest is small it s not the world
Spread your wings cause they re meant to fly
Shine; ask the star what s her secret
Dine; for this world has many flavours
You ll be fine you re so much stronger than a porcupine
Believe; so say the word of God

Chorus:

Verse Two:

Fly away little bird
Don t come home until you re strong
Find me a leaf on top of Kilimandjaro
No more sorrow for what s over
Long gone are the days when you thought
You won t see the clear blue sky
All it took was to turn the key
And there you are
Standing braver than Jumbo the elephant
Like a child of the universe
Like an Angel on a swing
Bringing promises of sunshine ooh like a weatherman

Chorus Till Fade
