Bravebird

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 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 knowYou're a bravebird
(Bravebird)
Of the rarest kind
(Kind)
You may be one of the walking wounded
But still you flyYou're a bravebird
(Bravebird)
You put yourself on the line
When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mother's childAs 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 knowYou're a bravebird
(Bravebird)
Of the rarest kind
(Kind)
You may be one of the walking wounded
But still you flyYou're a bravebird
(Bravebird)
You put yourself on the line
When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mother's childYou're a bravebird
A bravebird
Kind heart
In the sky
