Bird of Fire
I always wanted to be a bird
fire in my wings
I wanted bittersweet wind
high above the world
eyes that see beyond the veil
flying past the lakes and trees
I always wanted to be a bird
but they had clipped my wings
and I just want the sky
I just want to taste the stars
they sing to me
set me free
and I am lost in this love
x2
I always wanted to be a bird
hunting prey with razor claws
I always wanted the fight, the flight
I feel a fire in my heart
crying my freedom to the moon
locked away in this room
I always wanted to be a bird
and I'll fly away someday
and I just want the sky
I just want to taste the stars
they sing to me
set me free
and I am lost in this love
x2
I always wanted to be a bird
run away with me
see the world with open eyes
I just want to be free
fire in my wings
I wanted bittersweet wind
high above the world
eyes that see beyond the veil
flying past the lakes and trees
I always wanted to be a bird
but they had clipped my wings
and I just want the sky
I just want to taste the stars
they sing to me
set me free
and I am lost in this love
x2
I always wanted to be a bird
hunting prey with razor claws
I always wanted the fight, the flight
I feel a fire in my heart
crying my freedom to the moon
locked away in this room
I always wanted to be a bird
and I'll fly away someday
and I just want the sky
I just want to taste the stars
they sing to me
set me free
and I am lost in this love
x2
I always wanted to be a bird
run away with me
see the world with open eyes
I just want to be free
