Lyrics

Bird

(Kathy Kallick, Red Shirt Pub. Co./BMI)

A bird lay on the window sill
with a broken wing, but its heart beat still
and its black bead eye had a look to kill
I was afraid to reach out my hand
 
‘cause I’ve been hurt by a bird before
even if it’s hurt it can still make war
with its razor beak it can leave deep scars
but I still reach out my hand
 
CHORUS:
     ‘cause a mighty heart lifts that feathered breast
     ‘cause one broken dream shouldn’t end the rest
     and my own blind fear can’t stop this fool again
     I can still reach out my hand
 
I don’t know if this bird’s the same
or just looks alike with a different name
I just recognize the look of pain
in this wounded bird again
 
So maybe if I wear thick gloves
Maybe if my heart is filled with love
Wonder what it is I’m so scared of
Looking at this wounded bird
 
CHORUS
 
Maybe time will heal all wounds
Maybe this time I’ll be a wiser fool
The deep blue sky is an endless pool
Filled with possibilities
 
CHORUS
