lyrics

Look down, you are a bird
Lift high above the earth
Stretch out on any perch
You and the sky

Wind has a heart and mind
It teach you how to glide
Wingspan is unconfined
You and the sky

Big picture, widest view
Earth curve is bending true
Solo inside the blue
You and the sky

When you need access to
The bigness that lives in you
Become the bird that flew
You and the sky

Updraft pushes you high
Sensory lullaby
Breath soft and mind alive
You and the sky

Nothing for granted now
Feel into all your power
Kin to the clouds and flowers
You and the sky

When you need access to
The bigness that lives in you
Become the bird that flew
You and the sky
