Come back babybird
  With your dirty wings in tatters
  Come home where you belong
  Nobody knows you better
  Now bring back your velvet heart
  And we'll make you brand new feathers
  Sleep through the morning light
  With your arms around your brother
    Babybird
  come back home
  Babybird
  you were never really on your own
    Now outside faces cry
  With the tears of lonesome orphans
  And behind every mask
  is the face of another
  Wherever you have been
  wherever you took cover
  No arms that pulled you in
  could hold you like your mother
    Babybird
  come back home
  Babybird
  you were never really on your own
    When all my colors fade
  And my wings, they've turned to leather
  I'll know the reasons why
  God let me get older
  When all my days are through
  And I fly these hills no longer
  I'll lay beneath the stars
  And I'll watch you flying over
    Babybird
  come back home
  Babybird
  you were never really on your own
    Babybird
  come back home
  Babybird
  you will never be all alone
