Story Of A Bird - Asher Monroe

Lyrics by：Asher Monroe

Composed by：Asher Monroe

All that glitters wasnʼt gold

As my ignorance unfolds

Often have you heard that told

Many a man his life hath sold

To thine own self be true

He is ill clothed that bare virtue

Worms do enfold in guilted tombs

Who pays the piper calls the tune

Here goes the story of a bird

Of waking life the trees were stirred

From mighty oaks acorns mature

Where faults are made lessons are learned

So off you go little sparrow

Find your wings and watch them grow

You may fall but you will never be alone

When things go wrong they sometimes will

The clouds of doubt begin to fill

Itʼs our willingness to step in the unknown

If you wait for me there Iʼll wait for you

Some lessons are best taught

Not by our scars but by our wounds

To make mistakes is natures way

Of humbling us to face the simple truth

If you wait for me Iʼll wait for you

Some lessons are best taught

Not by our scars but by our wounds

To make mistakes is natures way

Of humbling us to face the simple truth

Into the midst of fabled skies

A fleeting glimpse of paradise

A trial must be earned

Then out of the storm and rain he flies

Shifting between paradigms

Weeping for his wished return

Mold and amend me ascending my

So off you go little sparrow

Find your wings and watch them grow

You may fall but you will never be alone

When things go wrong they sometimes will

The clouds of doubt begin to fill

Itʼs our willingness to step in the unknown

A rolling stone gathers no moss

Compelled to crystallize it's hue

Adversity lifeʼs diamond dust

Unearthing permeating clues

In mystery our soul abides

In seeking truth in where it lies

None are so blind whoʼs absent mind

While aching bones hold fervent finds

Here ends the story of the bird

Who must transcend to emerge

To one day prosper and mature

Till then rapture repeats the song of birth

So off you go little swallow

Trust you wings and watch them soar

Courage is to know what not to fear

When evening winds are hard to bear

The clouds are dim with no one near

Weʼll meet again beyond this vale of tears
