Verse 1 –
I’ll try to bottle the battle cuz life would rather let it rattle around/ I take a deep breath and calm down/ you told me on the phone/ my innocence was blown/ like dust in a whirlwind/ I’m tryin’ to let my faith settle//
You’re all colors in a prism/ life’s beautiful prison/ sentenced under life’s condition, the vision/ for the lonely daughters and the wayward sons/ this was meant for you to sing, Momma/ when you can only hum//
Hope is on the run/ the setting sun/ it’s dusk but I know that you’re not done/ for when the next day’s not a given/ listen for the Songbirds of Dawn, the Morning Star, Hope has arisen//
Into a new day, a new beginning/ where your faith is vision and hope becomes possession/ and even the cancer can't take His love away/ when we're just birds here livin', on this side of Heaven//

Chorus
Let go of the sorrow/ there's hope for tomorrow/ as sure as the sun will rise/
Lift your head up to the sky/ spread your wings cuz your gonna fly/ you've been set free to live this life/
Like a bird out of a cage

Verse 2
Surrounded by bars I’m left alone to dance/ holdin’ hands with the Messiah-of-My-Circumstance/
I’ll trust and not be afraid, but fear is so near/ if you laugh with every smile, I know you weep with every tear//
Lord, it’s a clear night and all ain’t well/ I’m just lettin’ you know now how I really feel/
Have you forgotten me?/ so sings my soul to Thee/ tell me all is well/ I need you to be real with me//
And though today I was thinkin’ of her, I watched a leaf fall/ and in the moment saw it all/
I saw season’s change/ remember, when winter comes there’s another chapter written with her name upon another page//
And now forever doesn't seem so far away/ forever's coming yet I don't want her to fly away/
I’m tired of looking back, unsure of tomorrow / I'm sure everything I have is only borrowed//
But I can't let go, and what I try to hold isn't mine anyways, so let us go to where/
every tear is wiped away, and nailed scarred hands await, these birds in a cage//

Bridge
Hold on, hold on for tomorrow/ you don’t have to be afraid/
It’s time to let go, of all your worries/ take His hand and fly away//
