I AM JUST THE WILDEST BIRD TO FLY THE SAFFRON SKY

Footprints disappear up here
Where asphalt meets dream land
Like the surface of the moon
Saffron sky and opal sand

I drift off to other worlds
At night when I'm asleep
At night, I get my golden wings
My soul, no cage to keep

I am just a little bird
Still learning how to fly
I shake the dust off from my wings
And look up to the sky

I am just the wildest bird
To fly the saffron sky
I come from where the music's made
From the faintest, farthest light

In the catacombs of dreams
Where footprints disappear
I will sing my golden song
For the sleeping world to hear

Never will I be so far again
From where I'm from
This life, I know, is beautiful
But I will not return

I am just a wild bird
Tumbled by the storm
Gray stone turns to opal white
Where the rock gets worn

Raindrops fall across the sun
And I begin to fly
I think back to where I'm from
The rainbow fills my eyes

I am just a tired bird
Who has never flown so high
Singing on the dusty earth
Waiting for the night to fly.
