[ti: Bird on the Wire]
[length: 03:29]
[00:00.17]Like a bird on the wire
[00:06.45]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[00:13.69]I have tried in my way to be free
[00:25.29]Like a worm on a hook
[00:30.43]Like a knight from some old fashioned book
[00:36.40]I have saved all my ribbons for Thee
[00:49.36]If I, if I have been unkind
[00:58.80]I hope that you can just let it go by
[01:10.58]If I, if I have been untrue
[01:20.40]I hope you know it was never to you
[01:31.74]Like a baby, stillborn
[01:37.20]Like a beast with his horn
[01:43.11]I have torn everyone who reached out for me
[01:55.29]But I swear by this song
[01:59.61]And by all that I have done wrong
[02:05.73]I will make it all up to Thee
[02:17.70]I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
[02:27.43]He said to me, “You must not ask for so much”
[02:39.05]And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
[02:48.81]She cried to me, “Hey, why not ask for more?”
[02:59.63]Oh, like a bird on the wire
[03:05.22]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[03:11.06]I have tried in my way to be free
