If I am a little bird next time I open up my eyes,
I'm gonna have to learn how to spread my wings and fly
and turn loose of all the things that try to keep me on the ground.
I got no time to be afraid, so you're not gonna catch me lookin' down.
I'm gonna shake my tail
and spread my wings.
I'm gonna catch that wind as it's rushing by.
I'm gonna raise my voice and sing!

If I am a little flame, or else a dancing thunderstorm,
I'm gonna have all kinds of ways to keep my little spirit warm.
I might scare somebody here and there so they wish me on my way.
That's how it goes when you're too much, or big and bad and here to stay.
I'm gonna shake my tail
and spread my wings.
I'm gonna catch that lightning for my very own!
I'm gonna raise my voice and sing!

Ooh, if what you're seeing doesn't feed you,
it isn't 'cause your appetite's gone wild,
more like what they're sellin' doesn't serve you.
Well, I double-dare you to do your own thing, child!

If you feel a little lost, and some days you just wanna scream,
chin up, little fish. I bet there's something good upstream.
Keep on swimmin' and chasin' after your big dreams!
I cannot tell a lie: I've seen that even fish can fly!
C'mon, shake your tail!
Spread your wings!
Catch that sweet current rushing by!
Raise your voice and sing!
Said shake your tail!
Spread your wings!
Catch that wind! Let it lift you high as you
raise your voice and sing!
C'mon, raise your voice and sing!
