Cover art for Little Bird lyrics by Peter Breinholt

I think this song is about a father thinking about his little girl growing up. She's in a school play at first, and then they go home.

I love the way it uses words and phrases that can mean two different things. For example, "you're my little one, waiting in the wings" could refer to being a child (wings haven't grown in yet and can't leave home) or standig in the wings of a stage, waiting to go on.
