Thorn Birds
Born to a life of great tribulation
I rise in search of the one that I love
For me you are that final destination
a life's completeion I seek from above
Through wind and rain I endlessly wander
an instinctive connection guiding my path
This union between us will never be sundered
by malice or envy nor even pure wrath
Battered
not beaten
Wings stripped
not broken
I move on
in search of the one who completes my song
I move on
a thorn bird in search of a thorn tree
And now when I feel that my flight was in vain
I hear the cry of your branches
the wind whispers your pain
I follow your melody and what do I see
it seems that you have been waiting for me
rooted by nature
bound
never free
So I came and danced in and out of your spikes
in search of the one that would do just right
At last I have found it
let the music begin
as I smash into you
with the speed of the wind
Your love impales me
just like a dart
I want you to listen to the dying beat of my heart
Our union is complete
I can finally sing
so I'll rise above the pain and give what I bring
I'll sing you a song
like none you've ever heard
take note and remerber
this old Thorn Bird
