In a land far away where the sun doesn`t spare a soul
and a twisted tradition has a girl in a strangle hold
Lies a desert with the footprints
of little girls with a secret
of a pain
that you and I could never know
Little feet running fast as they can like the bird in flight
through days of sand with a fire in the sky
And through indigo nights
she runs away from a life spent
Being witness to other unwilling participants
of a pain
that you and I will never know
[Chorus]
Your`e a bravebird (bravebird)
of the rarest kind (kind)
You may be one of the walking wounded
but still you fly
You`re a bravebird (bravebird)
you put yourself on the line
When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mother`s child
As she speaks, you can tell that the
words are not easy to say
They hold the power to transport her back to that impossible day
but she hasn`t any regrets
cuz` she won`t become a woman with a secret
of a pain
that you and I could never know
you and I could never know
you and I could never know
[Chorus]
