	Story Behind the Song Dreaming of flying, i thought of a girl in the mountains watching the birds flying down into the city, and wishing she could do that too. The birds represent not only freedom but freedom with grace and beauty. Lyrics Up in the mountains so high and alone And there's no way to escape from the cold of my home And in the city it's happy and friendly and gay And how I wish I could just get away Mama says, you don't know what you wanna be I just know I could go where I can be free I just wanna be a bird in the sunshine Above the mountains I would fly I wanna be a bird in the sunshine I don't wanna be lonely, don't wanna be poor And I don't wanna be here for the rest of my life And I don't wanna be lost in the mountains forever And be only a countryman's wife Mama says, you can't choose what you're meant to be What have I got to lose, I just wanna see That's why I wanna be a bird in the sunshine Above the world so very high I wanna be a bird in the sunshine I wanna go so far away that no one ever will find me Wanna put it all behind me in the shadows of dawn I wanna fly up in the sky to where nobody can see me And the sunshine will free me from harm I wanna spread my wings and wander to the morning sun I wanna watch all the animals run I wanna fly just for fun And then I'll fly till I'm clear up to Heaven And sing till I'm done I wanna be a bird in the sunshine Above the mountains I would fly I wanna be a bird in the sunshine There are acres and acres of pain and despair Between the mountains and all that I want for my own But if I try really hard and I wish on a star I can go up to the sky on my own Mama says, foolish girl, you must learn your place Someday I'll trade this old world in for outer space And then I'll be a bird in the sunshine Above the world so very high I wanna be a bird in the sunshine © 1999 by Nellie and the Drummers, BMI
