Thursday's child has far to go
But there are things he needs to know
Thursday's child is wondering why
His apple has fallen from your eye

Why are some birds blue?
What is the taste of rain?
Why are some birds blue?
And why am I not with you?

Thursday's child has love to give
From a heart that's positive
Thursday's child was born to sing
Into your ear the sweetest things

Why are some birds blue?
What is the taste of rain?
Why are some birds blue?
And why am I not with you?

Dreamers begin by opening their mind
And throwing out the doubt they find
Happiness is the freedom to be
Within your sensuality

Thursday's child has far to go
And he still loves you so
Thursday's child has only you
And question marks to answer to

Why are some birds blue?
What is the taste of rain?
Why are some birds blue?
And why am I not with you?
