What's gone wrong with Mary
I hear them say
Mary's not the Mary of yesterday

She's gone with changing her hair
She laughs and she cries
And her life, seems to me
A worried and jumbled affair

Well, I have talked to Mary
I searched her eyes
And if you ask of Mary
She'll tell you why

It's Mary's time to run
Through the mad and the sane
And the joy and the pain
Til she finds her place in the sun

Young birds fly in early spring
They learn new songs to sing
And each song they know
Can help them to grow

Mary questions everything
She's ever known before
And wander as she may
She just won't listen anymore

So let her find her way
And soon will come, a? day

When everything's been sorted through
The streets will be reported?
All the people congregate to
Feel the love within her heart
And to listen to the music in her eyes

Young birds fly in early spring
Learn new songs to sing
Fly in early spring
Learn new songs to sing

Fly in early spring
Learn new songs to sing
Fly in early spring
Learn new songs to sing...
