Let me tell you âbout the end of the beginning
Or of the end depending where you land.
You came on the scene just as the partyâs ending
Iâll start again and then youâll understand.
Itâs like the bird
That you canât see
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.
Itâs like the word
That you canât say
But you can sing the pretty music anyway.
Now I know there are some things that you need to discover
Turn off your mind and do yourself a favour
(like the bird,
you canât see,
itâs a part of you, woo
and itâs a part of me)
Girl, I can see behind your eyes your mind is spinninâ
Cause if your eyes can make the skies come clear
So you came in at the bottom of the inning
And no one knows (if whether) youâre from here
Itâs like the bird
That you canât see
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.
Itâs like the word
That you canât say
But you can sing the pretty music anyway.
Now I know there are some things (that) require concentration
Turn off your mind and use your âmagination.
(girl you know what Iâm talking about)
Come down and plant your feet into the ground.
Feel free; plant your mind in mystery.
So you want to know the meaning of my song?
Iâll tell you now: itâs all about how you feel.
Baby, I donât know or care where you are from,
Just so I know that where you go is real.
Itâs like the bird
That you canât see
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree.
Itâs like the word
That you canât say
But you can sing the pretty music anyway.
Now I know there are some things that you need to explain (girl)
Turn off your mind; youâre using up your brain. (câmon)
(like the bird,
you canât see,
itâs a part of you, woo
and itâs a part of me)
