There is a bluebird that lives in me

I’ve know him since about 2 or 3.

I told him of how we would do great things

I told him how we could be anything

We had great plans for that “someday”

We worked hard, and we played

We knew that life would be great!

Life was just beginning, and we couldn’t wait

There is a blue bird that lives in me

He has been there now for over 30

In rare moments and for short times

I let you out, I let you shine

But as time has passed

I have failed you, locked you up, I hope it doesn’t last

There is a blue bird that lives in me

I know he is still there I just can’t find the key

I really want to let you out

Let you sing, let you shout

I know what a great team we can make

Oh, the things we could do, the things we could create

I treasure the moments when I hear your voice

While faint it might be, it gives me a hoist

I haven’t forgotten, I’m just a little lost

And I hate how much of my life this has cost

I see others that have their blue birds out

How did they find them? Why can’t I figure this out?

Even my family have let theirs out

They’re all growing. Why can’t I figure this out?

There is a blue bird that lives in me

Drugs pull him out, Drugs hide in me

I’m not sure what he is waiting for

I’m not sure who is the one knocking at the door

Maybe it is both, and we are both waiting for it to open.

Please come out bluebird, that is what I am hoping.

I’ve lost the blue bird that lives in me

Can someone tell, where he might be

He is focus, he is motivation,

he is the dad and husband I desperately want to be

The scene has changed since you’ve been gone

I’ve been making it up as I go along

It’s not working out so please come out soon

I’m slowly dying, I’m not in tune

I am completely lost and don’t know where to start

I wish I could find that bluebird in my heart

We’d work hard and make our family proud

We could finally escape this rainy cloud

I’d give my wife, the life she deserves

I wouldn’t freeze up, I wouldn’t have bad nerves.

I’d get my work done and provide for my fam

Then I’d feel like I’m worth a ****

My family means everything to me

And I’d give anything to be

That man my wife thought she married

So please come home little bluebird

Because there is no light

It’s dark, I’m weary and I am losing this fight

And if I don’t see my star when the morning comes

I’ll know that you have died

And if you die, I can’t abide

I’ll meet you on, the other side.
