The Bird, Pt. 1

The first thing I heard was your heartbeat
Pulsing in the quiet and the gloom
Whispering into my future
From the other side
From the other side of the room

The first thing I saw were your fingers
Reaching for out for somewhere new
Crying out with fear like all of us
Like a bird that flew
Like a bird that flew too soon

It's a big wide world
And it's waiting for you

Downstairs it feels like Christmas
Upstairs the time stands still
Wondering how soon we'll leave here
How much of my world
How much of my world you'll fill

Angels in the dawn of morning
Gather round to keep you new
I watch them wash away your innocence
I watch them slip away
I watch them walking under the moon

It's a big wide world
And it's waiting for you

We are all on this path together
We are stuck with this thing called love
We are memories entwined forever
We are all of us bones and blood
