Bluebird
Broken Wings and Gentle Hearts: A Song of Transformation
Lyrics
I was a broken winged blue bird
I felt broken and vulnerable, like a wounded blue bird.
You had an empty shoebox
You had emotional emptiness or limitations, represented by an empty shoebox.
I was back to flying high before I knew it
I regained my strength and soared high again unexpectedly.
I must a not have seen the glass
I may not have noticed the obstacles or challenges (represented by glass).
What it was you'd been looking past
You were overlooking something important or meaningful.
I could only shatter your reflection
I could only destroy the image or illusion you had of yourself.
And suddenly, it's me that needs mending
Now, it is me who requires healing or fixing.
Suddenly, I demand repair
I suddenly demand attention or care for my own well-being.
Your gentle heart distracts from what your mind wants
Your kind heart distracts you from pursuing your desires or intentions.
For the chance to see me fly away up there
You want to witness me taking flight despite the risk of leaving.
I was a lonesome greyhound dog
I felt lonely and abandoned, like a greyhound dog.
Hanging by your front lawn
I was hanging around your life, perhaps unwanted or unnoticed.
Panting wild in the August sun
I was passionately enduring difficult times in the intense summer sun.
With saucer full of water
You provided some comfort or relief in the form of a water-filled saucer.
A name and collar
I gained an identity and connection with a name and collar.
I became someone to someone
I became significant to someone in your life.
And suddenly I don't need to run
Now, I don't feel the need to escape or run away.
Suddenly it's me who's in repair
It's now me who requires emotional or mental healing.
Your gentle heart distracts from what your mind wants
Your compassionate heart distracts you from pursuing your own interests.
Just imagine if you weren't standing there
Imagine a world where you are not present, and the impact it would have.
Just imagine if you weren't standing there
Reflecting on the absence of your influence or presence.
