Songbird sings from the heart Each word can tear you apart I sing you sing along You find your life in my song When you need the strength to carry on You've got me to turn to With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring They've helped you be strong now The song sets you free But who sings for me I'm all alone now Who sings for songbird Sometimes when I'm all alone I sing my saddest song Lonely and no one can see This time the song is for me I can touch your secret place inside And still you don't know me With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring You've learned to be strong now My song sets you free But who sings for me I'm all alone now Where is my songbird Where is my songbird Who sings his songs for me
