You are a bird, flown away to another sky
And it’s I who should take
the blame for letting you go teary-eyed
Never did you turn to show your face
A fading silhouette and I might never see you again
It should never be a curse to have your own wings
A free sky is where I hope you go
but I feel the hurt as you fly away
Helpless but not your prayers
Fragile but not your faith
Armless but you fought away
And invincible stands your soul today
Never have you fallen down on your knees
Even when the skies stooped down to see you bleed
It’s your cry that awakes a million today
And we see in your light as you burn away
So goodbye little bird,
won’t you turn to say goodbye
I don’t ask you to return until I make a better sky
Just know that I know I let you down
And hear me “I love you” if I can say it now
