When I Become a Bird

I'm hanging on the string
I'm lying on the wind
White feathers on my skin
A shadow as my twin

Keeping my head up
Never go under, go under
My spirit is better
When it can wander, can wander
Oh, find me a heart that sings
My body is getting numb

Freedom calling loud
The sound of wings instead of words
That is what I'm looking for
When I become a bird
I become, I become
I become a bird, a bird

Oh, let my chest be torn
So trust can be reborn
Then travel from my core
That shaming stood before

Keeping my head up
Never go under, go under
Leaving the darkness
Starting to wonder, to wonder
If I could have it all
Does something have to fall

Freedom calling loud
The sound of love instead of hurt
That is what I'm dreaming of
When I become a bird
I become, I become
I become a bird
(Keeping my head up, go under)
I become, I become
I become a bird
(Keeping my head up, never go under)
A bird
I become, I become
I become a bird
Go under
(If I could have it all)
I become, I become
I become a bird
A bird

If I could have it all
Does something have to fall

This is how I left
Weightless on a breath
This is how I lived
With a little death
Mmmm, mmmm
