[Verse 1]
Cuckoo
Far from your home
Strange is your song to the tree where you've flown
Counting the stars in an unfamiliar sky
Cuckoo, do you wonder why?

[Verse 2]
Cuckoo
I've seen you hide
Safe from the ways of the world there outside
Is there a hope that you'll never, never show?
Cuckoo, with you, it'll grow
Cuckoo, did you know?
The earth's far below you now
But the air is wide and waiting

[Bridge]
Cuckoo, did you know?
You carry your home in your wings
In the darkness of sorrow you'll sing

[Verse 3]
Cuckoo
Don't you stay still
Put air under your wings or someone else will
Truth's in the song you sing plainly by night
All while you stay out of sight
Cuckoo why is it that you
Freeze before the fall with a feather too few?
Open your eyes, day by day, by day, by day
Cuckoo, to leap is life's way (Cuckoo, to leap is life's way)
Cuckoo, to leap is life's way (Cuckoo, to leap is life's way)
Cuckoo, to leap is life's way (Cuckoo, to leap is life's way)
Cuckoo, to leap is life's way
