Songbird

The songbird Free from being caged Her melody is beautiful Because she is no longer afraid She doesn't sing for your amusement The songbird does not sing for fame Oh, she sings for love Because it can not be tamed Born wild Songbirds of all types and colors Fathers Brothers Sisters Mothers Beauty deserves to be set free, and She honored everyone When that sweet relief Of freedom hit her wings When she flew away for the first time It was a spectacle to see She perched and landed Upon a giant sequoia tree She held no resentment And the only matter that She was now captured by Was her new profound view The songbird has love in her heart And that's one thing you can't steal The music in her voice Obstructed my fear, she Began to guide me with her remedy and I assented, with my mind now clear It was incredible The power echoing through her The enchantment that she showed Admiring her strength Tiny in form but beautiful in design Reminding me that love conquers all I could feel my sorrows, turn into hope I had burst with senses of a budding flower, ready to grow Oh, how hearing her.. Through my layers She peeled Oh, how my encounter with her.. Made me feel Like a songbird, too
