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
