A little bird once said to me You’ve got to live a little before you’re happy And if you take a lot You’ll be left with none I had to learn a bit and live a bit And let it all sink in a bit
A little voice there in my head Saying how many hours has your day got left With the pressures of your day run out of time Hard to have a plan and keep to it And pick a path and stick to it
(Can’t you can’t you...) Can’t you show me (I’ll be I’ll be...) I’ll be waiting to see (Wanna learn wanna learn...) Oh, the secrets of the universe (Can’t you can’t you) Can’t you can’t you make it clear to me
Chorus: Open up the box of secrets Take one out for me I’ll show the number on my ticket And take one home with me Show me show me what you got I’ll take it take it soak it up Open up the box of secrets Take one out for me
A little bird once talked to me Oh but then he flew away too quickly Didn’t have enough time to ask the things I need He said I got to make my own mistakes Find the lessons I can take
Why’d all the answers hide away When we need a little guidance through the day If I can stay afloat with my arm bands off Then I can just keep going laugh the bad days off
(Can’t you can’t you...) Can’t you show me (I’ll be I’ll be...) I’ll be waiting to see (Wanna learn wanna learn...) Oh, the secrets of the universe (Can’t you can’t you) Can’t you can’t you make it clear to me
Chorus Rap: I’m gonna break the locks and open up the box Cos I was out in the cold searching kinda lost I noticed I was hopeless but now I’m focused I wrote this cos I let go but now I hold this Now I’m on to bigger things and better things And now I’m figuring the world and I’m settling If this is the right path I’m stepping in Nothing but positive energy I’m letting in I gotta let go of everything I fear now I’ve gotta let go of everything, I’m here now And I’m a girl with a plan, right here where I stand, I’ve got the world in my hands
