Bird Song Lyrics - Bright Morning Stars - Wailin' Jennys

I hear a bird chirping up in the sky, 

I'd like to be free like that, spread my wings so high. 

I see the river flowing, water running by, 

I'd like to be that river, see what I might find. 

I feel the wind a-blowing, slowly changing time, 

I'd like to be that wind, I'd swirl and shape the sky. 

I smell the flowers blooming, opening for spring, 

I'd like to be those flowers, open to everything. 

*Instrumental Interlude*

I feel the seasons change: the leaves, the snow and sun. 

I'd like to be those seasons, made up and undone. 

I taste the living earth, the seeds that grow within, 

I'd like to be that earth, a home where life begins. 

I see the moon a-rising, reaching into night, 

I'd like to be that moon, a knowing, glowing light. 

I know the silence as the world begins to wake, 

I'd like to be that silence as the morning breaks.
