Long ago I ran to the light
Seeking harbor far from the stormy night
There I saw the dawning day
One flew away

Pigeons on a telephone line
Waiting for permission 'fore they can fly
There they were and there they'll stay
Till one flew away
One flew away

I have a fire burning deep inside
And it only exists to rise higher
I have a fire that cannot be denied
And I'm not like that bird on a wire

Clamping down on all that you are
If you think it can't be done then right you are
You don't have an еxperience
It is what you are

I have a fire burning deep inside
And it only exists to rise higher
I have a fire that cannot be denied
And I'm not like that bird on a wire
Bird on a wire
Bird on a wire

I'm alive!
With love sublime I'm not too blind to see
Life longing for more
Storm the sky!
The passersby will not be flying free
But you've been here before

Long ago he turned on the light
Windows everywhere to the short of sight
Just another humdrum day
Till one flew away

I have a fire burning deep inside
And it only exists to rise higher
I have a fire that cannot be denied
And I'm not like that bird on a wire

I have a fire burning deep inside
And it only exists to rise higher
I have a fire that cannot be denied
And I'm not like that bird on a wire
Bird on a wire
Bird on a wire
