Lyrics (Aurore Reichert, with the help from Shane Lawes) :
I’m just a little cuckoo
who’d like to be a better bird
I’d liked to have the answers
To the questions that I’ve heard
Why did mum leave me here?
Would be one that I would ask
If I turn to ask my nestlings
It is something they don’t grasp
Even though I love my nestlings
I would like to leave the nest
As I hear a crazy song
Beating freedom from my chest
Its rhythm is like magic
Turning nature upon its head
I’m just a little cuckoo
and my old nature is dead
I will make my own cocoon
A nest for every wing
A cocoon as big as the moon
A place for everything!
Today, everyone sings
The nest for every wing
was made by a little cuckoo
and it’s a place for everything
Today, every bird sings
It’s a little cuckoo
to make a nest for every wing
A cockoon as big as the moon
Hello peekaboo !
