I Was A Bird Lyrics - Age Of Miracles - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I was a bird that loved to fly 

Catching the wind as it went south 

And I could touch every inch of sky 

And the sweetest songs trilled from my mouth 

But I'm no bird anyone can see 

And there's no wind waiting for me 

It's just a dream, it's just a dream 

To be a bird flying free 

I was a cloud that loved to drift 

Offering shade to lay upon 

And the greenest grass was my gift 

And a summer day was my song

But I'm no cloud anyone can see 

And there's just dust instead of green 

It's just a dream, it's just a dream 

To be a cloud drifting free 

I was a light that loved to dance 

Without a care of who might see 

I tempted fate and welcomed chance 

And I held the world inside of me

The clouds have fled, and the birds have flown 

And the light that was is all but gone 

It's just a dream, it's just a dream 

To be a light 

To be a cloud 

To be a bird 

Flying free
