Story Behind The Song

This is a song for the free world

Song Description

I wrote this song because I can see the world that I know has passed the smoldering stage and is starting to burst into flame

Lyrics

BROKEN BIRD

Hey Broken Bird, how can you fly away?
With wings that are tired and tattered and torn
To a sky that's so cloudy and grey,
Free flow your tears, you're drowning in despair,
Your fine heart is broken, God only knows
When you'll take again to the air

Hey Broken Bird, how can you see my face,
With eyes that are blistered and blackened and burned by the fires that rage through this place,
Where is your peace when pain is everywhere?
The darkness is spreading and who knows when
You'll take once again to the air

Gone are the days of the sweet summer haze when your children would soar to the sun
Now comes the winter, the icy skies splinter,
Your children go down one by one

Where hides the love that once flowed from above,
That you held in the palm of your hand?
Monsters have come to the beat of the drum
And they've broken the spine of your land,

But hey Broken Bird, your song it still remains,
Its murmurs of fairness and freedom and faith will re-echo again and again
So, fly now you ghost, go and find your light
The darkness will flee and your heart will fill
And you'll take to the air once again
The darkness will flee and your heart will fill
And you'll take to the air once again
