Songbird

I want to be a songbird,

And I want to sit on the tallest branch

Of the tallest tree...

And I want to sing lullabies

To Earth as she cries,

But I really want to try and make her laugh.

I want to be a songbird...

And I want to watch sunrise

With my love by my side;

And I want to grow,

And I want to learn;

I want to fire,

And I want to burn;

I want to rise,

And I want to fall;

I want to run,

And I want to crawl.

I want to be a songbird...

And I just want to try

To know how far and deep and wide

This love is that You give,

'Cause that's what it is to really live:

To just try and look around,

See You in our breaths

And hear You in our sounds...

I want to be a songbird...

Go through things that I need,

Make me hurt, make me bleed,

'Cause I will arise and see the light.

I'll pray my way through the night,

And I want to be a songbird...

And I want to sing lullabies

To Earth and she cries,

But I really want to try and make her laugh

How You made me laugh.

You made me laugh...

You made me laugh...

Take the strings and the things

I use to tie me to the ground;

Let them all be gone.

I want to be a songbird...

I want to be a songbird...
