Emmylou Harris
Gliding Bird
[Verse]
Gliding bird gliding through the sky
I'm wondering why I can't be
Why I can't be as free?

Gliding bird gliding all day long
Sing your secret song away
From all these faces that I see
Is where I want to be

My feet are so tired
They walked too many miles
If I run so wild like Heaven's child
I'll learn to fly someday

Gliding bird riding in the sun
Rainbow colors run
I hear the wind
I hear its mournful call
Gliding bird high above the sea
Is it longing to be free
Your voice is silent
But your wings tell all
