06 - Little Bird Came Home

[Intro] Little bird Across the years Carrying questions Carrying tears [Verse 1] She came back carrying questions She came back carrying flame She came back not as a stranger But the child behind the name Home was not a perfect answer Home was sorrow, roots, and grace Home was hearing someone whisper We remember your face [Chorus] Little bird came home at last Through the broken, through the past What was stolen did not die It kept singing in the sky Little bird came home again Through the sorrow, through the rain Love remembered what was true And carried her through [Verse 2] She touched the land in silence She listened for the names She carried all the children Who had suffered from the same She did not come back empty She came back with the truth For every stolen childhood And every missing youth [Chorus] Little bird came home at last Through the broken, through the past What was stolen did not die It kept singing in the sky Little bird came home again Through the sorrow, through the rain Love remembered what was true And carried her through [Bridge] Speak the names and tell it true For the ones who never knew Fifty years from now they'll hear Love survived and brought her near Let the children know the story Let the family songs remain Let the truth become a doorway Where no child is lost again [Final Chorus] Little bird came home at last Through the broken, through the past What was stolen did not die It kept singing in the sky Little bird came home again Through the sorrow, through the rain Love remembered what was true And carried her through [Outro] Little bird No longer alone The road was long But love came home
