The National Bird of India (Acoustic) lyrics
by Isobel Campbell
The national bird of India
Don't apologise to exist
The national bird of India
Don't ask questions heā
justā
is
And does heā
fly?
And does he try?
No, he justā
is
I wander around dig for depth in this town
Miss myāfamily,āmissāmy home
If friendship'sāso overrated
Human kindnessāoutdated
Iād prefer to be alone
It felt so bad
It got so sad
My heart turned to stone
The national bird of India
I saw him in Arcadia
The national bird of India
I was out driving in my car
And what a show
It's what we know
Everyone a star
And I have been struggling uphill now
And my feet still feel like lead
And I have been struggling up till now
Some days it's hard to leave my bed
I must be bold
To not be sold
And not be mislead
The national bird of India
From the canyons to the beach
Theyāre saying it won't be long
We're all singing the song
Do you practice what you preach?
We've come so far
It's who we are
Not so out of reach
