I sold a tree To buy a bird that lived in his leaves
And then I had to sell her back to the wind
I watched her spring From my arms and start to careen
As she Tried to pick a fight with the breeze
I saw her fall And I knew it was all my fault
I cussed But I knew she’d be the better for some
dust
Oh pretty bird Your fury couldn’t save your plumes
But oh pretty bird They’ll be truer when they are renewed
Though darling I can’t promise you that will be soon
Shout it out Let it hurt
The feathers fight For the surface
Scream it proud Let it sting
The angry storm Is what’s bringing you home
Oh pretty bird
