Bravebird Lyrics - Bravebird - Amel Larrieux

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 know 

Little 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 know 

You're a bravebird 

(Bravebird) 

Of the rarest kind 

(Kind) 

You may be one of the walking wounded 

But still you fly 

You're a bravebird 

(Bravebird) 

You put yourself on the line 

When you shared your secret with the world 

You saved another mother's child 

As 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 know 

You're a bravebird 

(Bravebird) 

Of the rarest kind 

(Kind) 

You may be one of the walking wounded 

But still you fly 

You're a bravebird 

(Bravebird) 

You put yourself on the line 

When you shared your secret with the world 

You saved another mother's child 

You're a bravebird 

A bravebird 

Kind heart 

In the sky 

Bravebird
