«i'm like a bird» | nelly furtado
"i'm like a bird, i'll only fly away
i don't know where my soul is,
i don't know where my home is"

«isle of flightless birds» | twenty one pilots
"all we are is an isle of flightless birds
we find our worth in giving birth and stuff
we're lining our homes against winding roads
& we think the going is tough
we pick songs to sing, remind us of things that nobody cares about
& honestly we're probably more suicidal than ever now"

«green finch and linnet bird» | harolyn blackwell
"green finch and linnet bird
nightingale, blackbird
how is it you sing?
whence comes this melody constantly flowing?
is it rejoicing or merely hallooing?"

«birdie» | avril lavigne
"like a bird locked up in a cage
& how can i escape in this place
& go higher, higher?
how can i avoid the flames
from your fire, fire?
& oh, you can't hold me down, no
oh, you can't pull me down
so birdie fly away (higher, higher)"

«fly like a bird» | mariah carey
"fly like a bird
take to the sky
i need you now, lord
carry me high
don't let the world break me tonight
i need the strength of you by my side
sometimes this life can be so cold
i pray you'll come and carry me home"

«blackbird» | the beatles
"blackbird singing in the dead of night
take these broken wings and learn to fly
all your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise"

«fly like an eagle» | seal
"i want to fly like an eagle
to the sea
fly like an eagle let my spirit carry me
i want to fly
fly right into the future"

«birds» | kate nash
"right, birds can fly so high
& they can shit on your head
& they can almost fly into your eye
& make you feel so scared.
but when you look at them
& you see that they're beautiful
that's how i feel about you."

«three little birds» | bob marley
"rise up this mornin'
smile with the risin' sun
three little birds
pitch by my doorstep
singin' sweet songs
of melodies pure and true"
