lyrics
Outside
They fly
Magpies
I spy
First twice
Then thrice
And it's one two three that I watch 'til they go
Three for a girl that I know
Julia birds were built for flight
Don't give up your freedom without a fight
If someone really loves you then they set you free
They don't cage you in the name of security
Oh Julia Julia Julia Julia Julia don't
A ring
A sling
I sing
Of things
Breaking
A wing
If your feathers are all tethered then you never can soar
That ring won't bring what you put in on for
Julia birds were built for flight
Don't give up your freedom without a fight
If someone really loves you then they set you free
They don't cage you to display like a sad trophy
Oh Julia Julia Julia Julia Julia don't
It takes a strength of spirit
A certain mind
To follow your own path to leave the flock behind
It takes certain spirit
A strength of mind
But if you can do it so can I
They fly
Magpies
I spy
First twice
Then thrice
And it's one two three that I watch 'til they go
Three for a girl that I know
Julia birds were built for flight
Don't give up your freedom without a fight
If someone really loves you then they set you free
They don't cage you in the name of security
Oh Julia Julia Julia Julia Julia don't
A ring
A sling
I sing
Of things
Breaking
A wing
If your feathers are all tethered then you never can soar
That ring won't bring what you put in on for
Julia birds were built for flight
Don't give up your freedom without a fight
If someone really loves you then they set you free
They don't cage you to display like a sad trophy
Oh Julia Julia Julia Julia Julia don't
It takes a strength of spirit
A certain mind
To follow your own path to leave the flock behind
It takes certain spirit
A strength of mind
But if you can do it so can I
