Bravebird Lyrics

In a land far away where the sun doesn't spare a soul
And a twisted tradition has a girl in a strangle hold
Lies a desert with the footprints of little girls with a secret
Of a pain that you and I could never know
Little feet running fast as they can like the bird in flight
Through days of sand with a fire in the sky and through Indigo nights
She runs away from a life spent
Being witness to other unwilling participants
Of a pain that you and I could never know
You're a bravebird
(Bravebird)
Of the rarest kind
(Kind)
You may be one of the walking wounded
But still you fly
You're a bravebird
(Bravebird)
You put yourself on the line

When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mother's child
As she speaks, you can tell that the words are not easy to say
They hold the power to transport her back to that impossible day
But she hasn't any regrets
'Cuz she won't become a woman with a secret
Of a pain that you and I could never know
You and I could never know
You and I could never know
You're a bravebird
(Bravebird)
Of the rarest kind
(Kind)
You may be one of the walking wounded
But still you fly
You're a bravebird
(Bravebird)
You put yourself on the line
When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mother's child
You're a bravebird
A bravebird
Kind heart
In the sky
Bravebird
