[Verse 1]
I heard her at the back door
The little-wing bird
Lying there, it should've been
The end for her
Was she going somewhere?
Did she have a place to be?
Perhaps, today, was on her way
To rescue me

[Chorus]
Sometimes you fly
On top of the world
Sometimes you cry
Sometimes it hurts
We all need somebody
To understand
We all need somebody
Lend a hand

[Verse 2]
I could see some movement
An idea came clear
To care for one another is
The reason we are here
I wrapped her in a blanket
The sky falling stray
Took her to the river
And watched her get away
[Chorus]
Sometimes you fly
On top of the world
Sometimes you cry
Sometimes it hurts
We all need somebody
To understand
We all need somebody
Lend a hand

[Chorus]
Sometimes you fly
On top of the world
Sometimes you cry
Sometimes it hurts
We all need somebody
To understand
We all need somebody
Lend a hand
