Bird In Flight

(Willcox / Bogen / Bush / Francis / Bray)

He runs to the water's edge

To feel the sea

To smell the air

To feel he's free

He does not really need to see

To this unhappy child

He's a no - no

No, no he cannot see

Told about water

Told about fire (it bites)

Told about birds

They're wild and free

They're everything he dreams to be

Everything his mind can see

No, no, no, no, no, no

No, no you'll never see

Never see water

Animals slaughtered

Never see daylight

Never see fire

Alone in the dark

His mind sets him free

He becomes wild and free

Birds in the trees

I see they can breathe fire

I see, I see my mother

She's a liar

I'm flying higher

Screaming to my mother

You're a liar

Yes!

I'm a yes yes

Now my eyes can see

Up through the clouds

Swoop past the sea

Through my bedroom window

Over the city

To my home in the sky

I wanna cry

A letter to mum says

"Goodbye Mum"

This is goodbye

Remember how I cried

You said I lied

You didn't believe me

You didn't believe me

I could walk through walls

Grow ten feet tall

Touch the ceiling

Be a special child

I rise to my feet

Walk through my wall

Turn the corner

Grow ten feet tall

I run to the water's edge

I'm standing on the cliff edge

I run back

Back a few feet

I turn

I turn around

I run

I run to the cliff edge

Run to the cliff edge

Run to the cliff edge

Run to the cliff edge

I'm a bird in flight

I'm a bird in flight

I'm wild

I'm free

I'm wild

I'm free

A bird in flight (I'm wild)

A bird in flight (I'm free)

A bird in flight (I'm wild)

A bird in flight (I'm free).
