Little Bird

See now, little bird, how the wind blows
Tethered hearts hide safely from their dreaded foes
Freedom is relative to all I know
How treacherous the stormy sky
Though you’re afraid, you still are made to fly
I made a home in a fox’s den
Don’t know when I’ll come back again
So toast with me to simpler days
The lion’s breath caused quite a haze
There was a time when I felt so alive
You could see it in the way I cried out heart and soul
Oh, something had a hold
The strain of love is far too strong
It makes demands my whole life long
Someone had a hold
See that’s the trouble
I’m fearless in your gaze
I could soar into the broken night
Into the unexplored enclave
Little bird, take flight
Let valor swell from within your chest
The tempest flares in wild protest
The enemy seems vast but it’s a harmless shadow
The dangers go as they will come
So rise up, sweet one, and don’t succumb
Little bird, take flight
Little bird, take flight
Little bird, take flight
Little bird, take flight
