Lyrics Look Like a Bird - Amanda Shires

I wanna look like a bird
Careless, weightless and free
I wanna look like a bird, bird
Careless, weightless, and free

To perch like a yellow hammer
To have a grackle's gate
To wander marigold blossoms
Or feather and fly away

Like the tree grew for standing
And they stand for me
Like the tree grows branches
And they stand for me

I wanna look like a bird
Scissor wings and split the sky
I wanna look like a bird, bird
Like I know what it is to fly

Like I don't know about falling
Or what it is to cry
To look like a bird, careless in the world
Like tears are foreign to my eyes

Like a bird
Like a bird
Like a bird
Like a bird

I wanna look like a bird
Stare raven, cold and mean
Night hawk, night birds
See through everything

Like I don't care or grieve
Like I've never been drunk on wine
Oh, to look like a bird
Weightless in the world
Careless on the vine

Like a bird
Like a bird
Like a bird
Like a bird

I wanna look like a bird
Like I was mean to sing
I wanna look like a bird, bird
Like I know my place world
Like I know my place in the world
