And the peace of its gentle wings
It's an omen of better things
I've been waking with the same pain
That makes me want to sleep
And dream of a red bird
So build us a nest, for i've chosen to leave
For i am so so heavy here
Come to me tonight and i'll be waiting
With my wings
I will of left the weight behind me that
The blood of men brings
Where there once was despair
Tonight i will be free
And the slings and the stones that uncovered
My bones will have flown my memory
I've been dreaming of a red bird
It sings of a way out, it sings of release
It's been tapping on my window
To remind me it's waiting
And that i have a choice
So build us a nest, for i've chosen to leave
For i am so heavy here
Take me away from here
I am not equipped for such strain
Take away the fear
How do you prepare for the pain
Now i'm leaving with the red bird
And as my arms leak again
I am so happy here
