To The Birds 04:34
I promise to listen to you Like I listen to the birds Never a note out of place Only wonder I promise to listen to you I will walk by your side Like I walk in the wilderness Every step a prayer Full of wonder I will walk by your side Oh... you are the one I've waited for My greatest love, waiting inside me all along Just beyond the open door I know your heart can be a storm Light and shadow, changing skies So when I look to you and hear your thunder I'll listen like I listen To the birds Oh... love

about

To The Birds is the first single from my forthcoming album "Free" which is set to be released August 2021. The song was born out of a conversation with a friend. We were walking through a field, listening to the birds sing when she remarked "wouldn't it be great if we listened to ourselves the way we listen to birds?" And as all good songwriters do, I made not of the magic and poetry of this moment and it eventually evolved into this song. When I sing it now, To The Birds serves as a kind of a love song to myself - a promise and reminder to show up for myself with the same kindness, awe and wonder with which I show up to nature.

lyrics

I promise to listen to you
Like I listen to the birds
Never a note out of place
Only wonder
I promise to listen to you

I will walk by your side
Like I walk in the wilderness
Every step a prayer
Full of wonder
I will walk by your side

Oh... you are the one I've waited for
My greatest love, waiting inside me all along
Just beyond the open door

I know your heart can be a storm
Light and shadow, changing skies
So when I look to you and hear your thunder
I'll listen like I listen
To the birds
Oh... love
