Name: Birds Fly Away
Duration: P00H04M53S
Description: This was originally supposed to be a song about a tropical vacation, but it took a turn somewhere and became more about escaping conformity. I’ve always envied birds for their great escape mechanism - namely wings - their ability to just up and leave when they need to. We’re not so lucky but we can wish.

BIRDS FLY AWAY
Words & Music by Rob Bender Creative Group Published by Bender Creative Group, BMI copyright 2017

I’m taking a trip
To a tropical zone
Where rivers flow
Into parts unknown
Leavin’ this town
Escaping control
Breaking away
Before I lose my soul

Birds fly away fast and free
Birds fly away so why don’t we
I’ll fly away to rediscover me
Birds fly away when danger nears
Birds fly away we all have fears
I’ll fly away before my cage appears

They’re calling me back
That’s what they do
To keep on digging that hole
Right next to you
It’s a balancing act
Up here on a wire
Beyond their words
But not their fire
