Take off your tattered wings, I am coming home. Let me begin to explain Why it's been so long. I got stuck in the clouds, Tangled up in a shroud. Waiting for the stillness to break And your voice to take its place. Saying please, saying stay, Saying where will you go anyway.
Once I was a bird, You were the sky on every side And I, I tried not to look down So scared of the ground was I.
And when I fell down to the ground, Saw you were nowhere to be found. And I called loud your name, But it did not sound the same.
So where have I been, I have been lost in the wind. And you, now you are free Of the chains that bound you to me.
Once I was a bird, You were the sky on every side And I, I tried not to look down So scared of the ground was I.
I was a bird, You were the sky on every side And I, I tried not to look down So scared of the ground was I.
