Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Was A Bird Lyrics
I was a bird that loved to flyCatching the wind as it went southAnd I could touch every inch of skyAnd the sweetest songs trilled from my mouthBut I'm no bird anyone can seeAnd there's no wind waiting for meIt's just a dream, it's just a dreamTo be a bird flying freeI was a cloud that loved to driftOffering shade to lay uponAnd the greenest grass was my giftAnd a summer day was my songBut I'm no cloud anyone can seeAnd there's just dust instead of greenIt's just a dream, it's just a dreamTo be a cloud drifting freeI was a light that loved to danceWithout a care of who might seeI tempted fate and welcomed chanceAnd I held the world inside of meThe clouds have fled, and the birds have flownAnd the light that was is all but goneIt's just a dream, it's just a dreamTo be a lightTo be a cloudTo be a birdFlying free
