Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Isolated from the outside Clouds have taken all the light I have no control It seems my thoughts wander off Of the time when I tried to Live life without you Birds falling down the rooftops Out of the sky like raindrops No air, no pride If being myself is what I do wrong Then I would rather not be right Hope's turned into fear With my one wing I can't fly With sunrise embrace my Dreams tight and that's why Birds falling down the rooftops Out of the sky like raindrops No air, no pride Birds To a place without fear, with no moonlight All I need are trees and flowers and some sunlight When memories are being made and where the old one dies Where love ain't lost Birds falling down the rooftops Out of the sky like raindrops Birds falling down the rooftops Out of the sky like raindrops No air, no pride That's why Birds don't fly
