Bravebird Songtext
von Amel Larrieux

In a land far away where the sun doesn′t spare a soul
And a twisted tradition has a girl in a strangle hold
Lies a desert with the footprints
Of little girls with a secret
Of a pain
That you and I could never know

Little feet running fast as they can like a bird in flight
Through days of sand with a fire in the sky
And through indigo nights
She runs away from a life spent
Being witness to other unwilling participants
Of a pain
That you and I could never know

You're a bravebird (a bravebird)
Of the rarest kind (kind)
You may be one of the walking wounded
But still you fly


You′re a bravebird (bravebird)
You put yourself on the line
When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mother's child

As she speaks, you can tell that the
Words are not easy to say
They hold the power to transport her back to that impossible day
But she hasn't any regrets
Cuz′ she won′t become a woman with a secret
Of a pain
That you and I could never know
You and I could never know
You and I could never know

You're a bravebird (a bravebird)
Of the rarest kind (kind)
You may be one of the walking wounded
But still you fly

You′re a bravebird (bravebird)
You put yourself on the line
When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mother's child
