Bravebird

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 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 could never know

You're a bravebird (a bravebird)

Of the rarest kind (kind)

You may be one of the walking wounded

But still you fly

You're a bravebird (bravebird)

You put yourself on the line

When you shared your secret with the world

You saved another mother's child

As she speaks, you can tell that the

Words are not easy to say

They 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)

Of the rarest kind (kind)

You may be one of the walking wounded

But still you fly

You're a bravebird (bravebird)

You put yourself on the line

When you shared your secret with the world

You saved another mother's child
