Bird of Paradise
Aryn Michelle 2012
Now is the hour when everything will change
You’ve put your life in boxes, I’ll hide my tears away
Pull on your coat as you fumble with your keys
I’m brave for those who stay, take courage as you leave
It’ll never be the same, but it’s okay ‘cause I believe
You sing a song that they’ve never heard, you’ve got the wind, you’ve got the word
you’re a bird of paradise, a bird of paradise
you’re colorful and you’re full of life, you’re flying high and burning bright
you’re a bird of paradise, a bird of paradise
My heart begins to ache and my mind keeps flashing back
It took so little time to become so attached
but its time for moving on, we’re not making a mistake
you heard that fervent call and I’m leaning hard on grace
goodbyes are difficult, but I’ll find the strength to say
You sing a song that they’ve never heard, you’ve got the wind, you’ve got the word
you’re a bird of paradise, a bird of paradise
you’re colorful and you’re full of life, you’re flying high and burning bright
you’re a bird of paradise, a bird of paradise
no obstacle can hold you down, you’re free indeed, your joy is found
you’re a bird of paradise, a bird of paradise
and God can take you anywhere, your head is strong, your heart is rare
you’re a bird of paradise…paradise
