Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Dust motes dance in the light Silver beams cutting through night Grandpa’s bench sits so still Resting on the window sill Heavy keys in my palm Breaking the workshop’s calm [Verse] Cedar scent in the air Sawdust stuck in my hair Chisels worn at the tip Found within a steady grip There it lies, half-awake Carved beside the frozen lake [Chorus] A bird that never flew Holding secrets he knew Wings of wood, unfinished grace Frozen in this quiet space He left the sky behind For the life he had to find [Verse] Tattered paper, yellowed edge Tucked beneath a wooden wedge "I saw a hawk today" "But I turned my eyes away" "Sold my lens for the rent" "Wondering where the seasons went" [Hook] Hollow bones, heavy heart Where did the flying start? [Chorus] A bird that never flew Holding secrets he knew Wings of wood, unfinished grace Frozen in this quiet space He left the sky behind For the life he had to find [Bridge] Iron tools and iron years Wiped away with silent tears He carved the things he missed With a tired, shaking wrist Every chip upon the floor Was a knock at heaven's door [Verse] I hold the grain so rough Maybe it was enough To dream of soaring high Underneath a painted sky I’ll leave the window wide Let the morning come inside [Chorus] A bird that never flew Holding secrets he knew Wings of wood, unfinished grace Frozen in this quiet space He left the sky behind For the life he had to find [Post-Chorus] Cedar wings, cedar dreams Nothing is what it seems In the dust, in the light Getting ready for the flight [Outro]
