We've seen birds Golden sunlight catching their wings We've been here since we were kids Did you think we could exist like this? I like to see them gliding Try to calculate the numbers that have been Some things are unfathomable Couldn't tell you how many birds we've seen Get behind the wheel Did you think that we'd be doing this still? Do it and get it right Even if it means you're screwing up the rest of your life I like it when they don't talk When it's just breathing Blinking eyes You always could read my thoughts Oh we've seen birds We've seen them fly We've seen birds In the woods or looking out of windows Everything around is change People growing up and I'm not acting my age I like to keep on moving I'd be lost without you by my side One drink before the late show Oh we've seen birds We've seen them fly When they set to fly And ascend up there When we set out to go on Though we don't know where And the instinct's strong Watch them fly high And leave the earth behind See them soar by We've seen birds Golden sunlight catching their wings We've been here since we were kids Did you think we could exist like this?
