Look Like a Bird Lyrics by Amanda Shires
Amanda Shires Lyrics
I wanna look like a bird--careless, weightless and free.
I wanna look like a bird--careless, weightless and free.
To perch like a yellow hammer, to have a grackle's gate,
To wander marigold blossoms or feather and fly away.
Like the tree grew for standing
And they stand for me.
Like the tree grows branches
And they stand for me.
I wanna look like a bird, scissor wings and split the sky.
I wanna look like a bird, like I know what it is to fly.
Like I don't know about falling
Or what it is to cry
To look like a bird, careless in the world
Like tears are foreign to my eyes.
I wanna look like a bird, stare raven cold and mean.
Night hawk. Night birds see through everything.
Like I don't care or grieve,
Like I've never been drunk on wine.
Oh to look like a bird,
Weightless in the world careless on the vine.
I wanna look like a bird, like I was mean to sing.
I wanna look like a bird, like I know my place world.
Like I know my place in the world.
[Thanks to Thomas Mooney for lyrics]
