That bird over the ocean
Sees a shadow big and strong
No, it's not an illusion
She's been up there for so long
Swoosh, like an arrow
Like a jet plane, like a dream
Sing, she is singing
And she's singing right through me
She said, child, your voice is the sound wave of your soul
Listen carefully to what you know
You've been here before and you have grown
All that is seen cannot be shown
In a flash, over the ocean
Over the rooftops, over my head
Gone, she was gone
Well, I remember what she said
Stand like a mountain
Through injustice, through the strain
Forgive like the prophets
Over and over
She said, child, your voice is the sound wave of your soul
Listen carefully to what you know
You've been here before and you have grown
All that is seen cannot be shown
guitar solo
guitar solo
Slow, slowly I take my turn
And the flame grows taller as I learn
guitar solo
One, one by one, so high
The ones I love take to the sky
When, when it comes my time
Will I leave a trail of light?
My soul over the ocean
Will see its shadow big and strong
No, it won't be an illusion
Cause I'd have been up there for so long
I'm gonna swoop like an arrow
Like a jet plane, like a dream
Forever be singing
Like she's singing straight to me
She said
Child, your voice is the soundwave of your soul
Listen carefully to what you know
You've been here before and you have grown
All that is seen cannot be shown
No matter where we're stuck
You're all you've seen
