Lyrics (Aurore Reichert, with the help from Shane Lawes)

Cuckoon

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 !
