lyrics

Nobody knows me
Not even my mom and dad
They've ostracized me
And that just makes me sad
But here I am
I am your baby boy
Here is my birthmark
Here is my favorite toy

Fly, fly, fly you painted bird

I've lived with cruelty
I've lived with bullies
I've been tortured
With their chains and pullys
They don't hear me
They won't let me speak
They just mock me
And treat me like a freak

You paint my face
You tear my fragile wing
You crack my beak so I can barely sing
But I'm still here
I'm gonna tell my tale
Ain't got no glory
Ain't got no epic scale
