Crestfallen after his plans to make peace and end the war have been foiled by Richard Nixon’s secret mission to convince South Vietnam to wait for his election for a better deal, LBJ turns to Lady Bird. She reminds him that “Where we fly, we fly as one. There’s no where so high, from here to the sun. And when those unfriendly skies and those Harvard guys try to bring you down…with just one word, call for your Bird, and I’ll be around.”

The cast surrounds him and reminds us all of the lasting legacy he left. 

LYRICS

Lady Bird: 

If you're soaring

I'll be by your side

If you're sore

I'll make your pain subside

If it's pouring

Then my wings will hide you

From the rain

 

If you're winning

I will win with you

If you've lost

Then we'll start anew

If you're sinning

I will see what you do

As something I’ll just suffer through

 

CHORUS

Where we fly

We fly as one

There's nowhere so high

From here to the sun

And when the unfriendly skies

And those Harvard guys

Try to bring you down

With just one word

Call for your bird

And I'll be around

 

When you're dirty

I’m the one who cleans

If you're hurt on the field

I will be the Marines

Cause no one knows what loyalty means

More than us

 

If you're heated

I will cool you down

If you've cheated

I'll cover up the clues left around

When defeated

I'll still be here to crown you

Victorious

 

CHORUS

 

BRIDGE

Some people say

You were so dirt poor

I was your way out

And you married me for

My daddy's estate

And his city towers

I was just one more brick

In that path to power

But they don't know

that path is ours

 

Some whisper

that you've been flying around

With an eagle or two

While I'm here on the ground

Well of course I know

everything you've done

I feather our nest

While you're having your fun

And I’m caught in the thread

Of the web you’ve spun

 

VERSE

Cause at the end of the day

When your need advice

And a Cuttey Sark with a lot of ice

In a Styrofoam cup

To pick your up,

Well everyone knows who you call

 

When you're trying

To picture each river you crossed

When you're crying over

Each teenager lost

When you're weighing the endgame

And all that it cost,

Will you call out my name

When you fall?

 

CHORUS

 

LBJ and Lady Bird:

Where we fall

We fall as one

There’s nowhere so low

From her to the sun

 

Lady Bird:

And when those Harvard guys

And those widowed brides

Try to bring you down

With just one word

Call for your bird

And I’ll be around.
