Rare Bird - written by Kellie Jones
She walks like a river flows, constantly changing
And she talks like the trees in the winds of a black storm, constantly healing
She dreams with her eyes looking up at the tangerine sky
Wondering just how high she could fly
She’s miles away from Heaven
But it still shines through her eyes
And the burdens that you carry
They crumble and die
Open up, let her fly
Into your life
You know you can’t deny her love
Let her sing though it makes you cry
It’s natural and keeps her alive
But don’t you let her get away, no
She’s a Rare Bird
Oh how she prays to a merciless god, constantly losing (oh, she’s constantly losing)
But watch her rise up from the smoke and the ashes of her own life, constantly growing
She dreams with her eyes looking up at the tangerine sky
Wondering just how high she could fly
She’s miles away from Heaven
But it still shines through her eyes
And the burdens that you carry
They crumble and die
Open up, let her fly
Into your life
You know you can’t deny her love
Let her sing though it makes you cry
It’s natural and keeps you alive
But don’t you let her get away, no
I said now, don’t you let her, no, don’t let her fly away
She’s a Rare Bird… such a Rare Bird…
