Once I Was A Bird by Lauren shera Lyrics

Take off your tattered wings
I am coming home
Let me begin to explain
Why it's been so long
I got stuck in the clouds
Tangled up in a shroud
Waiting for the stillness to break
And your voice to take its place
Saying please, saying stay
Saying where will you go anyway

Once I was a bird
You were the sky on every side
And I, I tried not to look down
So scared of the ground was I

And when I fell down to the ground
Saw you were nowhere to be found
And I called loud your name
But it did not sound the same
So where have I been
I have been lost in the wind
And you, now you are free
Of the chains that bound you to me

Once I was a bird
You were the sky on every side
And I, I tried not to look down
So scared of the ground was I

I was a bird
You were the sky on every side
And I, I tried not to look down
So scared of the ground was I
