[Verse]
The fruit glows bright like a ruby stone
But the birds don’t touch
They leave it alone
What’s sweet to the eye
Might sting the bone
[Chorus]
Shiny fruit in the bush
Don’t rush
Don’t rush
Ask the wind
Ask the thrush
Why they hush
Why they hush
[Verse 2]
The leaves whisper secrets
The roots hold lies
The gloss is a mask
A clever disguise
Would you bite the gift
Or would you think twice?
[Bridge]
Not every sparkle leads to gold
Not every story should be told
The birds know better
They’re brave
They’re bold
[Chorus]
Shiny fruit in the bush
Don’t rush
Don’t rush
Ask the wind
Ask the thrush
Why they hush
Why they hush
[Outro]
When the fruit looks too bright
Too sweet
Too kind
Remember the birds
Keep them in mind
The truth’s in the silence they leave behind
