有时候我觉得自己yǒu shí hòu wǒ jué dé zì jǐ

像一只小小鸟xiàng yī zhī xiǎo xiǎo niǎo

想要飞 xiǎng yào fēi

却怎么样也飞不高què zěn me yàng yě fēi bù gāo

也许有一天我栖上了枝头yě xǔ yǒu yī tiān wǒ qī shàng le zhī tóu

却成为猎人的目标què chéng wéi liè rén de mù biāo

我飞上了青天才发现自己wǒ fēi shàng le qīng tiān cái fā xiàn zì jǐ

从此无依无靠cóng cǐ wú yī wú kào

每次到了夜深人静的时候měi cì dào le yè shēn rén jìng de shí hòu

我总是睡不着wǒ zǒng shì shuì bù zhe

我怀疑是不是只有wǒ huái yí shì bù shì zhī yǒu

我的明天没有变得更好wǒ de míng tiān méi yǒu biàn dé gēng hǎo

未来会怎样wèi lái huì zěn yàng

究竟有谁会知道jiū jìng yǒu shuí huì zhī dào

幸福是否只是一种传说xìng fú shì fǒu zhī shì yī zhǒng chuán shuō

我永远都找不到wǒ yǒng yuǎn dou zhǎo bù dào

我是一只小小小小鸟 wǒ shì yī zhī xiǎo xiǎo xiǎo xiǎo niǎo

想要飞呀飞xiǎng yào fēi yā fēi

我寻寻觅觅寻寻觅觅wǒ xún xún mì mì xún xún mì mì

一个温暖的怀抱yī gè wēn nuǎn de huái bào

这样的要求算不算太高zhè yàng de yào qiú suàn bù suàn tài gāo

所有知道我的名字的人啊suǒ yǒu zhī dào wǒ de míng zì de rén ā

你们好不好nǐ mén hǎo bù hǎo

世界是如此的小shì jiè shì rú cǐ de xiǎo

我们注定 无处可逃wǒ mén zhù ding wú chǔ kě táo

当我尝尽人情冷暖dāng wǒ cháng jìn rén qíng lěng nuǎn

当你决定dāng nǐ jué ding

为了你的理想燃烧wéi le nǐ de lǐ xiǎng rán shāo

生活的压力与生命的尊严 shēng huó de yā lì yǔ shēng mìng de zūn yán

哪一个重要nǎ yī gè zhòng yào
