Lyrics

Like a Bird in Your Hand
(© April, 1992 Rick Moody, revised on March 2, 2003)

D
Like a bird

Without flying
G D
Like an eagle at rest
D
Like a song without listening
G A
Like a child with no land

I can't hope
To imagine
Nor to dream anymore
Without love in my spirit
I'm a bird in your hand

Like the moon
silver shining
And the light in your eyes
Like the wind off the water
And the strength in the sand

I can't build bridges stronger
For the path we must find
Without love in my spirit
I'm a bird in your hand

(go through chord sequence in half time & end with harmonic riff)
