Something we made in the kitchen. Bird, a song about transcendence. Enjoy!

lyrics

Chained to the ground In a workman’s lot
I toil the day, sleepless at night
Watching my hometown get dug up and built
Oh Lord if you love me, let me come back as a bird

Time tinkers slowly, change the faces of hills
The foliage retreating, there’s another tract home
In the path of industry you are damned if you don’t
Oh Lord if you love me, let me come back as a bird

I’d fly high above the canopy
Of all these sorrows that have anchored me
I’d sing my song, I’ll chase the bumble bees
Oh Lord if you love me let me come back as a bird

Around every corner was a face that I love
Now they haunt in their absence, drunk on Nostalgia
I dance with their shadow, I lay beside an old shirt
Oh lord if you love me, you’d let me come back as a bird

I prefer to be mobile when the pain sets in
My friends are all dying, the field it’s infringed
Lay me in dirt, sing a redemption hymn
Oh lord if you love me, you’d let me come back as a bird

I’d fly high above the canopy
Of all these sorrows that have anchored me
And I’ll take flight at the first sign of change
Oh Lord if you love me, you’d let me come back as a bird
