The Songbird

Verse 1

Out past the ridge where the mist rolls low

There's a voice that bends the morning slow

Born of oak and river stone

A song that finds you when you're all alone

They say she's never been seen

Just a flutter of feather and a golden gleam

Rare as rain on July clay

But her melody stays with you all your days

Pre-Chorus

And I've walked ten thousand trails

Chasing echoes through the pines

Every note she leaves behind

Turns my wandering heart to find

Chorus

Osiyo songbird sing for me

Turn the rings on through eternity

Tune my heart and lift my mind

Carry me across the line of time

Songbird sing me through the dark

You're the compass in my heart

Post-Chorus

Sing on sing on

Osiyo sing on

Verse 2

I heard her once when winter broke

A sound that rose and then it spoke

Through the veil of yesterday

It pulled a memory the other way

Future past and both collide

She rides the current like a tide

Every feather holds a key

To every door that's meant to be

Pre-Chorus

So I keep walking through the years

Listening for that sacred sound

Every sorrow every cheer

She turns them right side round

Chorus

Osiyo songbird sing for me

Turn the rings on through eternity

Tune my heart and lift my mind

Carry me across the line of time

Songbird sing me through the dark

You're the compass in my heart

Post-Chorus

Sing on sing on

Osiyo sing on

Bridge

Wado for the song you gave

Wado for the time you save

Every singer every song

Knows the thread you weave along

Round and round the rings do turn

Every heart has got to learn

From the songbird's ancient tune

That we are all her children soon

Chorus

Osiyo songbird sing for me

Turn the rings on through eternity

Tune my heart and lift my mind

Carry me across the line of time

Songbird sing me through the dark

You're the compass in my heart

Post-Chorus

Sing on sing on

Osiyo sing on

Sing on sing on

Wado sing on
