Resilient Sapphire by Teena Marie Lyrics
[Verse 1: Teena Marie]
I'm a bluebird, I'm a sapphire
I'm a nightingale
I am flying, soulful winters
Who will tell my tale?
I am a hummingbird, a free flying bird
I am the wind beneath your wings
I am a white dove
Unconditional love
I am the air that floats your dreams
[Verse 2: Alia Rose]
I'm a raven, I'm an eagle
I'm a lovely swan
Time is passing, everlasting
I will linger on
I am a soulful bird, a free flying bird
I am the twigs that make your nest
I am a white dove
Unconditional love
A mother's love at very best
[Chorus: Teena Marie & Alia Rose]
I'm going home today
My home is just around the pier
But I won't say goodbye
I'll only say until we meet again
I'm gonna spread my wings
A phoenix rising through the flame
And all the earth will know and hear
New Orleans is my name
(New Orleans is my name)
And Mobile is my name
(Mobile is my name)
Biloxi is my name
Resilient is my name
I'm a bluebird, I'm a sapphire
I'm a nightingale
I am flying, soulful winters
Who will tell my tale?
I am a hummingbird, a free flying bird
I am the wind beneath your wings
I am a white dove
Unconditional love
I am the air that floats your dreams
[Verse 2: Alia Rose]
I'm a raven, I'm an eagle
I'm a lovely swan
Time is passing, everlasting
I will linger on
I am a soulful bird, a free flying bird
I am the twigs that make your nest
I am a white dove
Unconditional love
A mother's love at very best
[Chorus: Teena Marie & Alia Rose]
I'm going home today
My home is just around the pier
But I won't say goodbye
I'll only say until we meet again
I'm gonna spread my wings
A phoenix rising through the flame
And all the earth will know and hear
New Orleans is my name
(New Orleans is my name)
And Mobile is my name
(Mobile is my name)
Biloxi is my name
Resilient is my name
