Birdsong

'Til your eyes find me, I'm strong as my bones 'Til then, here I stand, I am strong as my bones 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones Then only then I am all self-doubt All my will and my won't fly out of my mouth Like a little white dove that you've trained so well To sing prettily along to another bird's song 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones Meanwhile, I'm tall, I am tow'ring above All your hate in your soul can't undo this self-love Like a little white dove that will soar on the wind Proudly bruising my lungs with the songs I have sung 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones I'll beat my breast, cry a great fearsome cry See you cowering then as I fly high And when I am done, oh, I'll swoop on down Seeking those eyes of judgment, I'll peck 'em out 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones But for now I belong to no beast, man, or thing My own self is my own, I am strong as my bones Like a fierce bird of prey that knows only the hunt With a strength you don't know how your pretty bird's flown 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones 'Til your eyes find me, I am strong as my bones 'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
