The Solitary Bird - Deborah Snow

[Chorus]

I'll teach my child to be just like the solitary bird,

who trusts the still voice of her heart

and not the spoken word.

Who gives her heart to everyone without demanding pay;

and in the darkest thunderstorms

she flies the Sunlit Way

1. I'll give my child some feathers bright
so her heart can flyaway
and drop the fear that binds it here,
demanding that she stay.

2. The first bright feather that I give is courage,
so her heart can see how to leave the chattering flock
and love her own company.

3. The next bright feather that I give
is deep and Quiet humility,
so love won't be consumed with pride,
but will shine forth and set her free.

[Repeat Chorus]

4. The third bright feather that I give
will carry her from land to ocean
where she can blend with sky and sea,
borne on the wings of her devotion.

5. The last bright feather that I give
I pluck from my own living heart;
I give my love to you, my child,
so we live alone, but not apart.

6. Before I fly I want to say:
Do not despair in darkest day;
do not look back, do not dismay,
I'll fly with you the Sunlit Way

[Chorus]
