Wandering Bird Lyrics

Like a wandering bird I soar and glide

Over lands where glory's long denied

Where the cries of pain echo in the air

And gunshots trace their deadly snare

Heir to a soil barren broken torn

Where only shame and sorrow are born

I taste the bitter past unfulfilled dreams

Lost in the shadows of forgotten schemes

And when dawn calls me to a new flight

I flee the choices that would hold me tight

I stay aloft avoiding the fall

Like a bird that fears the hunter's call

I'm flying the skies of a land forsaken

Where corruption steals futures hopes are shaken

And though I avoid touching the ground

I see the preyed upon all around

I'm flying the skies of this broken nation

Where memories haunt in quiet reflection

And though I linger high in the breeze

Every sight becomes a trigger for these

Below I see the ruins of dreams once bright

Faded by years of endless silent night

The cries of those who never had a voice

Drowned by the greed of a selfish choice

Yet still I rise wings cut through the dark

Seeking a place where hope might spark

But from above the scars remain clear

A future stolen by constant fear

And every time the sun begins to rise

I turn away escaping with the skies

For down below the past will always cling

And I'm not ready to face what it brings

I'm flying the skies of a land forsaken

Where corruption steals futures hopes are shaken

And though I avoid touching the ground

I see the preyed upon all around

I'm flying the skies of this broken nation

Where memories haunt in quiet reflection

And though I linger high in the breeze

Every sight becomes a trigger for these

So I'll keep flying far from the grief

Escaping the ruins seeking relief

But no matter how high or far I flee

The memories of this land will never set me free
