“Bird Set Free” by Sia
I’ll shout it out, have no doubt, I’ll fly free,
No whispered tunes of birds flitting off key;
A hush of melodies from ages past,
Notes, movements, which won’t disappear — they’ll last.
So, I’ll shout it out like a bird set free.
Singing for love, for possibility,
For the sweetness of words’ probability.
To soar, to rise high, past rising winds,
Find His Spirit within, not to rescind —
Those promises not given lightly, but —
Oaths we crossed ourselves, and kept, to catch gusts —
Off the highest cliffs and spread our wings fast.
Wait; breezes tickle wings, catch the updraft.
So, I’ll shout it out like a bird set free.
Holy Spirit as you rose, naming Him,
Your Holy Son, whose blood liberated sin’s —
Hold on all, on those who who yearned for flight.
No more pain; no more losing wicked fights.
No more bullies who pull feathers out; who —
Know not the joy of sky’s an unknown blue.
So, I’ll shout it out like a bird set free.
