Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I envy the birds
High up in the trees
They live out their lives
So purposefully
I envy the spiders
The squirrels and seeds
They all find their way
Automatically
[Verse 2]
But in this handmade heaven
I come alive
Bluebirds forever
Color the sky
In this handmade heaven
We forget the time
‘Cause birds of a feather fly together
[Verse 3]
I carry along a feel of an ease
I want to belong
Like the birds in the trees
I sit on my own
Look over the town
The skyscrapers glow
Like they’ll never fall down
[Verse 4]
But in this handmade heaven, it’s paradise
Bluebirds forever
Color the sky
In this handmade heaven
We forget the time
‘Cause birds of a feather fly together
[Verse 5]
In this handmade heaven, I come alive
Bluebirds forever
Color the sky
In this handmade heaven, handmade heaven
Handmade heaven, handmade heaven
[Verse 6]
And I can no longer ignore
The ivy growing tall
This life don’t suit me anymore
The writings on the wall
[Verse 7]
In this handmade heaven, I come alive
Bluebirds forever
Color the sky
In this handmade heaven, handmade heaven
Handmade heaven, handmade heaven
[Verse 8]
(Bluebirds forever) Birds of a feather
(Bluebirds forever) Fly together
(Bluebirds forever) In this strange, strange weather
(Bluebirds forever) In this handmade heaven
In this handmade heaven, in this handmade heaven
In this handmade heaven, in this handmade heaven
