lyrics

(Text by my friend Debra Salahudden)

A man wandered by me
 and he heard me, my song. 
He knew I was the one 
to sing of his son. 
His son, just gone, 
his son who was I 
I knew, that he knew…
he just needed to fly. 

I sang to him, 
I sang to his mum, 
I sang to the father, 
who’d just lost his son. 
I sang of a bird, 
I sang of it’s song 
I sang of the night 
when he knew he was done. 

The man knew that I knew 
The song of his son,
 the broken winged one 
Who knew to be gone 
He knew that the son, 
the son that was I 
Needed to sing, needed to fly 

He held me 
He wept 
With his sunken eyes, 
We both learned to see 
in that dead of the night. 

He held me 
We wept 
With our sunken eyes, 
In the dead of the night 
We both learned to fly.
