Jamala - I'm Like a Bird

When I was small, light-hearted girl
My daddy said: be true and strong,
And I was trying all the time
I knew all rules
But failed an exam

I'm like a bird - black or white
I live my life wrong or right

I met you then
It was so cool
But I forgot the world has a rules
One life's too short to say it all
I'm who I am, can't please them all

I'm like a bird - black or white
I live my life wrong or right
