In a world before maps, holding breadcrumbs of courage
we ran into the day ?
trying to catch wild birds with our tiny bare hands
and an open-door cage
Like many adventurers, I soon discovered that fate
wasn’t always a friend
Under swaying trees, gravity conjured the scar on my knee
and a lesson remembered:

That the wild birds belong to no one
And the child learned Nature will humble us all in the end

We sat on that stone by the ocean for years without fear
without thinking at all
We cried at the news that it became a burial ground
when the sea came to call
That night, the seagulls were glowing like angels sent down
to comfort our souls ?
with the moon and two new burning bright stars aglow on the waves
eternally rolling

And the wild birds belong to no one
And the tide turns forever, finding us all in the end

Are we the only ones who don’t understand
we’re but shadows upon an eternal land

Weaving through miles of darkness and canyons
in need of just getting lost…
to find us a place we could patch up our hearts
where no one would tally the cost
Down by a crystalline river, a broken-winged dove
sat alone on the bank…
We kept watch until nightfall, but knew it was out of our hands ?
some things we can’t make right

And the wild birds belong to no one
And the wild birds, they live the language of Letting Go
The wild birds belong to no one
Oh, the wild birds can show us everything we need to know
