Gliding Bird Lyrics - Gliding Bird - Emmylou Harris

(Tom Slocum) 

Gliding bird, gliding through the sky 

I'm wondering why I can't be why 

I can't be as free. 

Gliding bird, gliding all day long, sing your secret song 

Away from all these faces that I see, is where I want to be 

My feet are so tired they walked too many miles 

If I run so wild like heaven's child, I'll learn to fly someday 

Gliding bird, riding in the sun, rainbow colors run 

I hear the wind I hear its mournful call 

Gliding bird, high above the sea, is it longing to be free 

Your voice is silent but your wings tell all...
