Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What can I do
When the bird's got to die?
What can I do
When she's too weak to fly?
What can I do
When she's calling my name?
She's crying
"Mama, help me to live"
"Mama, help me to live"
"Mama, help me to live
To live, to live, to live"
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
