lyrics

1. FOR THE BIRDS I saw an unfeathered bird trying to fly and he flapped his little wings so hard, but he never found the sky. And I knew that he would die down there, so I picked him up and put him where he could be with all his feathered friends, in a nest that he could stay in for awhile. And another bird flew down from in a tree. And he flew into a window that all the other birds could see. And I knew that he would break his bones if he didn't learn to take it slow, think about the world around him and question what the answers are and why. And everyone's got their own questions to ponder and everyone's got their own deserts to wander, but the ugly truth is that sometimes a bird is gonna die.

Backup Vocals: Dan Padilla, Richie Lawler, Tim Fitzpatrick, Jeff Brawer. Hello: Jeff Brawer.
