Isobel Campbell - The National Bird of India

The national bird of India
Don't apologise to exist
The national bird of India
Don't ask questions he just is
And does he fly?
And does he try?
No, he just is

I wander around dig for depth in this town
Miss my family, miss my home
If friendship's so overrated
Human kindness outdated
I'd 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
They're 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
