Well when you wake in the morning
Little eyes open wide
When there's no ????
No surprises, no surprise

But maybe your wing may be broken
Maybe you're learning to fly
Well so am I

Amalia, finding the way out on the open road
Amalia, going whichever the wind gon' go
Amalia, taking her chances on the open sea
Amalia, hoping the breeze is gonna carry me

Maybe fate, maybe reason
Made you fall from the sky
Like the tides, like the seasons
Ever changing, you and I

So where do you go when worry takes you?
Where do you go when somebody makes you cry?

Amalia, finding the way out on the open road
Amalia, going whichever way the wind gon' go
Amalia, taking her chances on the open sea
Amalia, funny little bird hanging out with me

Ohhh, little funny little bird hanging out with me.
