Bird Flew By Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bird flew by and then wondered, wondered why
She was wise enough to stay up in the sky
From there, she could wonder the reason
What's the point of a year or a season?

[Verse 2]
Your life flies away as the night turns to day
If you stop once to think your hair will soon turn grey
But one would like to wonder the reason
What's the point of a year or a season?

[Verse 3]
The list of false starts and crumpled, broken hearts
Comes from the need to play so many parts
One would like to wonder the reason
What's the point of a year or a season?

[Verse 4]
The wind and the rain shook hands again
Untouched by the world, they managed to stay sane
They were able to wonder the reason
What's the point of a year or a season?

[Verse 1]
Bird flew by and wondered, wondered why
She was wise enough to stay up in the sky
From there, she could wonder the reason
What's the point of a year or a season?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
