Red Bird

I was a long way off

I was too far gone

My breath was shallow, my pace was slow

Tired of believin' all that I had ever known

Was in a fight with myself

A beat up sinner and a broken down saint

Walking through those open doors

I never knew what it would take

From your wire

From your tree

Oh, Red Bird

Oh, Red Bird

What do you see?

From your wire

From your tree

Your gentle song is guiding me home

It’s hide and seek with ghosts

More lost than found

Chased down by truth

With strangers all around

From your wire

From your tree

Oh, Red Bird

Oh, Red Bird

What do you see?

From your wire

From your tree

Your gentle song is guiding me home

Sitting on my porch

I heard a melody

You know grace, it hurts the most

Only 'cause it’s free

From your wire

From your tree

Oh, Red Bird

Oh, Red Bird

What do you see?

From your wire

From your tree

Your gentle song is guiding me

Be free

Be free

Oh, be free

Be free

Be free

Oh, be free
