Like a Bird
Like a bird, born for freedom
I will spread my wings toward rest
For my hopes have returned to nest within me
I will forget days without relief
I will find rest, a calm divine
And my songs, too, have begun to play again
Like a bird, born for freedom
I will spread my wings toward rest
For my hopes have returned to nest within me
I will forget days without relief
I will find rest, a calm divine
And my songs, too, have begun to play again
Among my friends on the balcony
I am truly, truly excited
Even in my heart I feel the change
Yesterday I was like one blind
So lonely, so very different
And suddenly, like an unexpected dream
Like a bird, born for freedom
I will spread my wings toward rest
For my hopes have returned to nest within me
I will forget days without relief
I will find rest, a calm divine
And my songs, too, have begun to play again
I will go on singing songs of love
I will string words like pearls of thought
At last I feel—oh, what it is to live
For days I fought, I did not give up
At last I overcame my despair
And so I am among the fortunate
Like a bird, born for freedom
I will spread my wings toward rest
For my hopes have returned to nest within me
I will forget days without relief
I will find rest, a calm divine
And my songs, too, have begun to play again
Like a bird, born for freedom
I will spread my wings toward rest
For my hopes have returned to nest within me
I will forget days without relief
I will find rest, a calm divine
And my songs, too, have begun to play again
