Lyrics Lightning Bird Wind River Man - Declan O'Rourke

If I was a bolt of lightning, I would shoot right down and split the sky in two
And I would be so bright I would light up the darkest night
Well, maybe I'll come back as one
I think it would be lots of fun to zap the earth and strike the sea with a billion volts of energy

And if I was a bird out on the wing the sweetest song you'd hear me sing
I would whistle sounds like secret words in a language no one's ever heard
The tune around your ear would ring so mesmerizing you would think
That I was something quite absurd, more like an angel than a bird

But today I don't want to be anything else but myself
'Cause today I am a little bit of all these things
There's a little bit of all these things in me
I got all right here in my hand
I'm a lightning bird wind river man

And if I was a gust of wind, I'd blow around the world three times or so
I would pick up half a million leaves and make a sculpture on the breeze
So beautiful that God himself would want to know how to as well
He'd offer me a handsome price just to be the wind in paradise

And if I was a river, I would be a raging river, wild and free
I would find my way round anything, just to get to where I was going
So treacherous would be my wrath, you'd never try to cross my path
I'd run so fast into the sea, you'd see the waves from Mercury

But today I don't want to be anything else but myself
Because today I am a little bit of all these things
There's a little bit of all these things in me
I got all right here in my hand
I'm a lightning bird wind river man

Yes today I don't want to be anything else but myself
Because today I am a little bit of all these things
There's a little bit of all these things in me
I got all right here in my hand
I'm a lightning bird wind river man

Oh, oh hey oh, hey oh, hey, ooh
