Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little bird of bone and feather
You leave behind the coming weather
Little bird of song and motion
You ride the night across the ocean
[Chorus]
And you know where you are
You know where you're going
You know where you are
[Verse 2]
Little bird of ether and light
Polaris is your guide tonight
Little bird, you can always tell
The stars that spin around the carousel
[Chorus]
And you know where you are
You know where you're going
You know where you are
And you know where you are
You know where you're going
[Verse 3]
Little bird of impulse and knowing
You catch the tail of an updraught blowing
Little bird of starlight and bone
The constellations guide you home
[Chorus]
And you know where you are
You know where you're going
You know where you are
And you know where you are
You know where you're going
