[00:09.000] | In a world before maps, holding breadcrumbs of courage, |
[00:14.000] | we ran into the day — |
[00:19.000] | trying to catch wild birds with our tiny bare hands |
[00:24.000] | and an open-door cage. |
[00:27.000] | Like many adventurers, I soon discovered that fate |
[00:33.000] | wasn’t always a friend. |
[00:37.000] | Under swaying trees, gravity conjured the scar on my knee |
[00:42.000] | and a lesson remembered: |
[00:43.000] | |
[00:48.000] | That the wild birds belong to no one. |
[00:57.000] | And the child learned Nature will humble us all in the end. |
[01:00.000] | |
[01:16.000] | We sat on that stone by the ocean for years without fear, |
[01:22.000] | without thinking at all. |
[01:25.000] | We cried at the news that it became a burial ground |
[01:31.000] | when the sea came to call. |
[01:35.000] | That night, the seagulls were glowing like angels sent down |
[01:41.000] | to comfort our souls — |
[01:44.000] | with the moon and two new burning bright stars aglow on the waves |
[01:49.400] | eternally rolling. |
[01:50.000] | |
[01:52.000] | And the wild birds belong to no one. |
[02:02.000] | And the tide turns forever, finding us all in the end. |
[02:10.000] | |
[02:12.000] | Are we the only ones who don’t understand |
[02:21.000] | we’re but shadows upon an eternal land? |
[02:30.000] | Are we the only ones who don’t understand |
[02:40.000] | we’re but shadows upon an eternal land? |
[02:50.000] | |
[02:54.000] | Weaving through miles of darkness and canyons, |
[02:58.000] | in need of just getting lost… |
[03:03.000] | to find us a place we could patch up our hearts |
[03:07.000] | where no one would tally the cost. |
[03:12.000] | Down by a crystalline river, a broken-winged dove |
[03:17.000] | sat alone on the bank… |
[03:21.000] | We kept watch until nightfall, but knew it was out of our hands — |
[03:27.000] | some things we can’t make right. |
[03:29.000]] | |
[03:30.000] | And the wild birds belong to no one. |
[03:39.000] | And the wild birds, they live the language of Letting Go. |
[03:49.000] | The wild birds belong to no one. |
[03:58.000] | Oh, the wild birds can show us everything we need to know. |
