lyrics

If I were a bird I would be
A bird of the water and silent at sea
I walk on the ground with these two feet
And all too often I'm down on my knees
When I’m kneeling on the dirt
I can feel the gift of the shifting trembling earth

If I were a bird I would be
A bird of the water and silent at sea
I cut my sleeves down the seam
I freed my hands into living
And a chord is struck from hammers and strings
And this time it’s for the living

If I were a bird I would be
A bird of the water and silent at sea
My heart it lives in hope
And it’s tied to his with a golden rope
So I won’t think of this anymore
I am human and I live on the shore
But from shore I can see
All the birds of the water
Silent at sea
