Horse & Bird

A song encouraging the escape of the routine, the traditional, the expected.  Triumphant.  

Horse and Bird

Written By: Heather Anderson

Head is out, head is out, head is out…
Held in wait, held in wait, held in wait…
Flag goes down, flag goes down, flag goes down…
Through the gate, through the gate, through the gate.
Run away, Golden Colt!
Run away!
Forget the oval you've been sold – keep running straight!
There's no jockey on your back, there is no guide. 
There's no crowd, no race, no track, all bets aside.

She is out, she is out, she is out.
But she's safe, but she's safe, but she's safe.

Wings are back, wings are back, wings are back…
Like in flight, like in flight, like in flight…
Eyes are closed, eyes are closed, eyes are closed…
In the night, in the night, in the night.
Sing away, Yellow Bird!
Sing away!
Forget the hushing that you've heard and state your claim!
The only cage is in your head – there are no bars.
There's no perch, no walls, no roof, just sky and stars.

She is out, she is out, she is out.
But she's safe, but she's safe, but she's safe.

Run away, Golden Colt!
Run away.
Forget the oval you've been sold – keep running straight!
There's no jockey on your back, but a yellow bird, 
Singing thoughts you might have had but never heard.

She is out, she is out, she is out.
But she's safe, but she's safe, but she's safe.
