Not Your Baby
Lyrics
There she goes
Smallest of all the birds
She's a dove in a world of eagles
The wind it blows
They wonder how she'll survive
And make her own life
And so she tells them, she stands and she sings
Hey yeah, you better be ready
My wings are spreading
Right here in front of you
She said, "I'm not your baby anymore
I can get my own feet off the floor
And don't you ever forget it"
There she goes
Pigeon man comes along
Plucks her feathers and calls her weakened
"Oh, baby bird
You need protection, you see
But you can shelter with me"
And so she kicks him out of her nest and she says
Hey yeah, you better be ready
My wings are spreading
Right here in front of you
She said, "I'm not your baby anymore
I can get my own feet off the floor
And don't you ever forget it"
So up she flew to see the sky for the first time
And she thought she was losing her mind
She said, "It's not what they said it would be
Bigger and so much more free"
Hey yeah, you better be ready
My wings are spreading
Right here in front of you
She said, "I'm not your baby anymore
I can get my own feet off the floor
And don't you ever forget it"
Twinkle twinkle little star
They don't know how strong you are
Don't you think they ought to know?
All you've ever done is grow
Twinkle twinkle little star
Show them just how big you are
Not their baby anymore
