Little Bird Painting

I look up to the little bird That glides across the sky He sings the clearest melody It makes me want to cry It makes me want to sit right down And cry, cry, cry, yeah I walk along the city streets So dark with rage and fear And I, I wish that I could be that bird And fly away from here I wish I had the wings to fly away from here, yeah But mamma, I feel so low Mamma, where do I go? Mamma, what do I know? Mamma, we reap what we sow They always said that you knew best But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed So I've just got to put these wings to test For I am just a troubled soul Who's weighted Weighted to the ground Give me the strength to carry on Till I can lay my burden down Give me the strength to lay this burden down, down, down, yeah Give me the strength to lay it down Lay it down, lay it down But mamma, I feel so low Mamma, where do I go? Mamma, what do I know? Mamma, we reap what we sow They always said that you knew best But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed So I've just got to put these wings to test I feel so low Mamma, where do I go? Mamma, what do I know? Mamma, we reap what we sow Put you one more time ‘Little Bird’ by Annie Lennox Songwriter: Annie Lennox "Little Bird" is a song composed and recorded by the Scottish singer-songwriter Annie Lennox.

Appearing in the 1983 music video for "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" with orange cropped hair and wearing a man's business suit, the BBC states, "all eyes were on Annie Lennox, the singer whose powerful androgynous look defied the male gaze”. Subsequent hits with Eurythmics include "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)" and "Here Comes the Rain Again". Lennox embarked on a solo career in 1992 with her debut album, Diva, which produced several hit singles including "Why" and "Walking on Broken Glass". The same year, she performed "Love Song for a Vampire" for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Her 1995 studio album, Medusa, includes "No More I Love You's" and "A Whiter Shade of Pale". To date, she has released six solo studio albums and a compilation album, The Annie Lennox Collection (2009).

She has also collected four Grammy Awards and an MTV Video Music Award. In 2002, Lennox received a Billboard Century Award; the highest accolade from Billboard magazine. In 2004, she received both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Into the West", written for the soundtrack to the feature film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Lennox's vocal range is contralto. She has been named "The Greatest White Soul Singer Alive" by VH1 and one of The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone. In 2012, she was rated No. 22 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Music. She has earned the distinction of "most successful female British artist in UK music history".
