Lyrics

ONCE

Once along time ago, I was a bird

who’s song was just too small to ever be heard

And I lived all alone among other strangers

smoothing their pain with the softness of my feathers


and I lived on an island

I kept my colors under my wings

and when the days were just too grey

I would open my arms and paint everything


And once along time ago I dreamt I could fly

over the mountains and into the sky

straight as an arrow into your eyes


But now I am walking through this arid land

the sand is like the ocean as it passes through my hands

And if you have to ask me what brought me to this place

I’m drawn by the beauty and the history of tragedy

like the sadness on your face


And if I could just ask you just one simple thing

hey what are seeing, and what are you thinking

when you tell me nothing


Cause once along time ago I dreamt I could fly

over the mountains into the sky

straight as an arrow into your eyes


And once along time ago I was a bird

who’s song was just too small to ever be heard.
