[00:09.000]In a world before maps, holding breadcrumbs of courage,
[00:14.000]we ran into the day —
[00:19.000]trying to catch wild birds with our tiny bare hands
[00:24.000]and an open-door cage.
[00:27.000]Like many adventurers, I soon discovered that fate
[00:33.000]wasn’t always a friend.
[00:37.000]Under swaying trees, gravity conjured the scar on my knee
[00:42.000]and a lesson remembered:
[00:43.000]
[00:48.000]That the wild birds belong to no one.
[00:57.000]And the child learned Nature will humble us all in the end.
[01:00.000]
[01:16.000]We sat on that stone by the ocean for years without fear,
[01:22.000]without thinking at all.
[01:25.000]We cried at the news that it became a burial ground
[01:31.000]when the sea came to call.
[01:35.000]That night, the seagulls were glowing like angels sent down
[01:41.000]to comfort our souls —
[01:44.000]with the moon and two new burning bright stars aglow on the waves
[01:49.400]eternally rolling.
[01:50.000]
[01:52.000]And the wild birds belong to no one.
[02:02.000]And the tide turns forever, finding us all in the end.
[02:10.000]
[02:12.000]Are we the only ones who don’t understand
[02:21.000]we’re but shadows upon an eternal land?
[02:30.000]Are we the only ones who don’t understand
[02:40.000]we’re but shadows upon an eternal land?
[02:50.000]
[02:54.000]Weaving through miles of darkness and canyons,
[02:58.000]in need of just getting lost…
[03:03.000]to find us a place we could patch up our hearts
[03:07.000]where no one would tally the cost.
[03:12.000]Down by a crystalline river, a broken-winged dove
[03:17.000]sat alone on the bank…
[03:21.000]We kept watch until nightfall, but knew it was out of our hands —
[03:27.000]some things we can’t make right.
[03:29.000]]
[03:30.000]And the wild birds belong to no one.
[03:39.000]And the wild birds, they live the language of Letting Go.
[03:49.000]The wild birds belong to no one.
[03:58.000]Oh, the wild birds can show us everything we need to know.
