Mukukā - Pretty Bird Lyrics




I lay awake at night
Sleep? Evaded
Thoughts running in and out
And I think to myself, can you hear me?
Can you, feel me?
Knees to the ground, I cry
Palm to palm, head bowed down Why is my love a mystery?
Dear Lord
If it's not for me, then please
Set me free

Brick by brick we built our fortress
A safe space free of judgement and external voices
Our heaven
Our happy place
But there I was, me and my vices
I reach out
Where are you my love?

Eyes cried
Tears dried
This ain't who it is I'm meant to be
Little bird, fly
Eyes cried
Tears dried
This ain't who it is I'm meant to be Pretty bird, fly

I crawl back and forth, wall to wall Searching for a glimpse of light in the dark
Searching in the dark for a piece of you
Walls caving in, rage coming in, toxic again
Cause you're happy over there
While I'm hurting over here

Eyes cried
Tears dried
This ain't who it is I'm meant to be
Lord please
Set me free, set me free
Lord please, set me free
Lord please, set me free
