lyrics

A BIRD APART

People sway like trees
Flying, humming in the breeze
They’re all connected now
And I won’t be left out

I’ve been a bird apart
Small wings and a broken heart
What crows did before wires I never knew
What I was before now, I have you

My heart has seen the miles
Lived free fast and wild
Healing from stormy blue
It’s landed here with you

Through the waters we wade
Braving heat and jumping trains
And if a fire next time
Your wings are bound to mine

We sway like trees
Flying, humming in the breeze
We’re all connected now
I’m not gonna be left out
