Marie Myriam - The Bird and the Child

I am a child, a child of creation
Feeling just like a wandering star
And like a bird who’s flying in motion
Trying to see so clear, so far

Far in the sky, I feel there is dancing
Far in the sky, I hear the birds sing
Out in the storm, I play with the winter
Shout to the winds and wait for spring

Spring that awakes with eyes full of loving
Giving the world a face that is new
Sending us all the rains and the flowers
Showering us with love that’s true

True as the dawn that wakes up the sunshine
True as the look I see in your eyes
You gave to me the day of my lifetime
Taught me to love, taught me to fly

Bird on the wing
Sing for me, sing
Take me up high
Show me your sky

I am a child, a child of creation
Wanting to meet the world face to face
Moving the clouds and letting the light through
Making the world a sunny place

Place for a song and place for a poem
Light up my life the way you can do
There’s so much hope that’s shining around us
Hope for the child, for me and you

I am a child, a child of creation
Feeling like I’m a wandering star
And like a bird who’s flying in motion
Trying to see so clear, so far

Bird on the wing
Sing for me, sing
Take me up high
Show me your sky

Bird on the wing
Sing for me, sing
Take me up high
Lend me your sky
