Chirps and Chases

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] In the old oak tree, high and free, Sits a bird with a song so sweet. He chirps and he trills, through the calm and the still, Trying to catch a heart’s heartbeat. [Chorus] Chirp, chirp, louder he goes, Tweet, tweet, louder he grows. But the world’s turned a deaf ear, His song, no one can hear. [Verse 2] His feathers fluffed, his beak wide spread, He sings from dawn 'til the day is dead. With each note, his hope fades thin, As silence answers him again. [Chorus] Chirp, chirp, louder he goes, Tweet, tweet, louder he grows. But the world’s turned a deaf ear, His song, no one can hear. [Bridge] From afar, a feline's eye, Glistens in the twilight sky. Hunger wakes, the chase is on, Now he’s noticed, now he’s gone. [Chorus] Chirp, chirp, softer he cries, Tweet, tweet, fear in his eyes. Attention came, but it’s all wrong, Now he wishes for a silent song. [Outro] In the old oak tree, high and free, Silence falls where the bird should be. His song was heard, but at what cost? In the chase, his freedom lost. [End] Now he wishes for a silent song. [Outro] In the old oak tree, high and free, Silence falls where the bird should be. His song was heard, but at what cost? In the chase, his freedom lost. [End]
