This an anti-social song
After a while you'll sing along
If people seem to put you down
You'll have to learn to clown
Can you remember as a child
Some of the things that drove you wild?
Did people make you cry?
Why couldn't they let you fly?

There's a sparrow on the ledge outside my window
And I do believe he feels as sad as me
Why should it be that society
Is so hung up on normality?
Why must we stick to the straight and narrow?
Why can't we go flying like a sparrow?

This is a multi-person song
Revolution can be fun
You're the one who holds you back
But soon your chains will crack
All that you're going to have to do
Are all the things you wanted to
They made you feel ashamed somehow
But those days are over now.

There's a sparrow on the ledge outside my window
And I do believe he feels as gay as me
I've said goodbye to that society
that was so hung up on normality
There'll be no more sticking to the straight and narrow
From now on I'm flying like a sparrow

Out into the blue
Into the blue
Do you want to come too?
Into the blue
Into the blue
Do you want to come two?
Into the blue
Into the blue
Do you want to come to?
