From the recording New Way Home
Lyrics
Bird, freed from your cage now you can fly
Bird, now you can soar forever
No longer of this world yet we’re not far apart
I can feel your wings in the beating of my heart
Bird, sign of the Ancient Mystery
Bird, you bring a song from heaven
You rise on wings of prayer, as dawn breaks through the sky
In the beauty of your flight I can hear the angels sigh.
Bird don’t fly away, don’t leave me here alone
Your home is paradise, take me where you go
Bird, freed from your cage now you can fly
Bird, now you can soar forever
No longer of this world yet we’re not far apart
I can feel your wings in the beating of my heart
You’re always in my heart
Bird don’t fly away, Bird don’t fly away, Bird don’t fly away
