A New Song I played at the 5th Cambridge Cigar Box Guitar Festival.This song was inspired by my Grandson, who said one day when looking at a tub of fat balls we have in the garage for the birds "When I was a bird, I used to eat fat balls" That stuck in my head and a few weeks later this song came out....LYRICSWhen I was a bird I sat in a tree,sang my song, feeling free,mmmm when I was a bird,mmmm feeling free.When I was a tree I sheltered you,watched you play and watched you grow,mmmm when I was a tree,mmmm I watched you grow.When I was you and you were me,we understood, no need to speak,mmmm when I was you,mmmm no need to speak.You can be anything, if you can just imagine it.You can be anything, anything that you need, whoo!Instrepeat 1st verse
