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 knowLittle feet running fast as they can like a 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 will never knowYou're a bravebird
Of the rarest kind
You may be one of the walking wounded
But still you flyYour a bravebird
You put yourself on the line
When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mothers childAs she speaks you can tell that
The words are not easy to say
The hold the power to transport her back to that impossible day
But she hasn't any regrets
'cause' 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 knowYou're a bravebird a bravebird fly high
In the sky there you are
