I went down to the water
G
And looked past the breakers
F
And something in the sky told me
G F D
It'd never be the same

I look to my sister
G
Saying, "What have I done?

I've made a mess of this
G F D
Song that I've sung"

Now everyone's trying to tell me
How it's supposed to feel
C
They nod like I'm a child
But they don't even hear me
D G
Oh I will wait for my little songbird
F
But it's not the right time
G F D
So I'll fly out on my own
G
So if you see my little songbird
F
Can you tell her I'll wait here
G F D
Down by the shoreline
D
The words of the Father
G
They ring in my ear
F
Go and find you a love
G F D
And live out all of your years
D
And they say if you're looking
G
Well, you'll get what you come for
F G F D
And everyone has their own price to pay

Oh I'll call out to the world, "Hello, can you hear me?"
