Bravebird - Amel Larrieux

In a land far away where the sun doesn't spare a soul 
And a twisted tradition has a girl in a strangle hold 
Lies a desert with the footprints 
Of little girls with a secret 
Of a pain 
That you and I could never know 

Little feet running fast as they can like a bird in flight 
Through the days of sand with a fire in the sky 
And through indigo nights 
She runs away from a life spent 
Being witness to other unwilling participants 
Of a pain 
That you and I will never know 

Your a bravebird 
Of the rarest kind 
You may be one of the walking wounded 
But still you fly 

Your a bravebird 
You put yourself on the line 
When you shared your secret with the world 
You saved another mothers child as she speaks you can tell that 
The words are not easy to say 
The hold the power to transport her back to that impossible day 
But she hasn't any regrets 
Cuz' she won't become a woman with a secret 
Of a pain 
That you and I could never know 
You and I could never know 
You and I could never know 

You're a bravebird...... a bravebird.....fly high..... 
In the sky.....there you are
