Laru Larrieux - Bravebird lyrics

[Verse 1] In a land far away Where the sun doesn't spare a soul And a twisted tradition Has a girl in a strangle hold Lies a desert with the footprints Of little girls with a secret Of a pain that you and I could never know [Verse 2] Little feet running fast as they can Like a bird in flight Through the days of sand With a fire in the sky and through indigo nights She runs away from a life spent Being witness to other unwilling participants Of a pain that you and I could never know [Chorus] You're a bravebird Of the rarest kind You may be one of the walking wounded But still you fly You're a bravebird You put yourself on the line When you shared your secret with the world You saved another mothers child [Verse 3] As she speaks you can tell That the words are not easy to say They hold the power to transport her Back to that impossible day But she hasn't any regrets 'Cause she won't become a woman with a secret Of a pain that you and I could never know That you and I could never know That you and I could never know
