--- # 🌾 **Lark Over Reeds** *(rebuilt version — tough + mythic + golden)* **Verse 1** Morning spills its fire on the long, soft grass, And a small brown bird breaks the sky like glass. It rises through the sunlight with a strength the quiet breeds — A fierce little whisper called **a Lark Over Reeds**. **Pre‑Chorus** And something in me loosens, Something in me breathes, Watching that small body Do impossible things. **Chorus** I feel free, like **a Lark Over Reeds**, Rising past the weight, light above my deeds. Let the wind take the heaviness that used to follow me — I feel free, I feel free. **Verse 2** The world holds its breath as the golden grasses sway, And the shadows on my shoulders start to thin and drift away. I’m not pretending I’m spotless — I’m just choosing where it leads, Learning from the courage of that **Lark Over Reeds**. **Pre‑Chorus** The sky becomes a doorway, The wind becomes a guide, And I feel something brighter Start to gather inside. **Chorus** I feel free, like **a Lark Over Reeds**, Rising past the weight, light above my deeds. Let the wind take the heaviness that used to follow me — I feel free, I feel free. **Bridge** Maybe strength is quiet, Maybe grace is rough, Maybe rising isn’t easy — It’s just choosing to get up. And I see that little bird Climbing higher than it needs, Teaching me the art of leaving What no longer has to be. **Final Chorus** I feel free, like **a Lark Over Reeds**, Rising past the weight, light above my deeds. Let the sunlight melt the shadows that once tangled up my feet — I feel free, I feel free. ---
