lyrics

Like a Bird Sue Smith July 2017 SOCAN
à Tom Petty

Rise up, like a bird taking flight
Into the sky, you are free
Ev’rything’s fine in this moment
A gift you gave to me

Ride the river
Destination forever
And ever

Water becomes air
You are home
In flight

Rise up, like a bird taking flight
Into the sky, you are free
Ev’rything’s fine in this moment
A gift you gave to me

Tailcoat, Tophat
Marshall of Rock ‘n Roll
Standing at the gates of Hell, standing

Fire becomes air
You are home
In flight

Rise up, like a bird taking flight
Into the sky, you are free
Ev’rything’s fine in this moment
A gift you gave to me
