Fly Little Bird

Lyrics by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Fly, fly, fly little bird

Try to speak the truth that you’ve heard

Spread your wings over this dark land

Be the unusual, a loving man

You don’t have to prove yourself to me

Just learn to love and set it free

Can you remember things that I taught you?

I always taught you to be honest and true

I always loved to see the light in your eyes

And hate to see your heart so cold and dry

You get your happiness from standing on stage

To make people clap, that’s how you pray

I see another way, if you wanna know

I set my heart on the things that make me grow

I keep commitments and I keep em’ right

I will not follow into your dark night

Don’t care for fame or fortune, not like you

Care more for truth and light so that’s what I do

I don’t really wanna bring you down

And there’s enough blame to go around

My heart’s been broken, as you see

Just tryin’ to get those blues out of me

Looking forward to a brighter day

Sure do hope you’ll find your way

Fly, fly, fly little bird

Try to speak the truth you’ve heard

Spread your wings over this dark land

Be the unusual, a loving man

You don’t have to prove yourself to me

Just learn to love and set it free
