When I was a bird
Careless holding broke my wings
And when I was a singer
They took all there was to sing
And when I was a boat
Their boulders broke my bow
When there was a question
They never showed me how
Now you’re my safe harbor
You’re the smile I want to win
You’ve got sweet sweet powers
You’re the place I should have been
Now I am a night bird
And I know what song to sing
You made me fly
So straight so nobody sees I broke my wing
And now that I’m full grown
Even though I’m still a child
Now my mind is peaceful
And you’re loving keeps me wild
‘Cause you’re my safe harbor
You’re the smile I want to win
You’ve got sweet sweet powers
You’re the place I should have been
Not I’m not a pebble dashed
The breeze can blow astray
And I’m not afraid now
At the passing of each day
‘Cause you’re my safe safe harbor
You’re the smile I want to win
You’ve got sweet sweet powers
You’re the place I should have been
