bird on the beach
stood with my kid on the lonely windswept beach the winter sun was on the horizon and we were both out of reach she ran ahead of me looking for the next surprise our souls were wet from the incoming tide she stopped and looked at me lord with tears in her eyes it's only a dead bird and his soul has gone to the sky he's free not like you and me he's free not like you and me i never ever thought that you would be so out of reach and the lonely times have been like poison child i wish i could practice what i preach then i can release these feelings that i've been holding deep inside been missing you so much baby the only healer can be time by then you will have forgotten the dead bird on the beach but please don't forget your father child 'cause he's out of reach yeah my dream is to be free free free freedom for you and me yeah free free free freedom for you and me you'll hear my music in the wind hearbeat like the rolling tide one thing you can be sure of my love wherever you go i'll hold your love inside and i take a look don't cry even if he was livin' and you had him in your hands you'd still have to open up and let him fly that bird must be free she stopped and looked at me lord with tears in her eyes it's only a dead bird and his soul has gone to the sky he's free not like you and me he's free not like you and me freedom freedom for you and me freedom freedom free freedom.
