[00:00.381]Vocals: Halie Loren [00:02.184]Guitar: Daniel Gallo [00:04.490]Bass: Mark Schneider [00:06.787]Drums: Brian West [00:08.935]Trombone: Joe Freuen [00:11.178]Trumpet: Rob Birdwell [00:13.493]Cellos: Katherine Dudney [00:15.165] [00:17.052]A yellow bird, she sings [00:21.767]and dreams of things she's never seen. [00:25.906]And the yellow bird, her wings [00:30.686]have never touched the spring rain. [00:34.334]Where does such a breezy melody [00:39.562]come from if she's never seen the sky? [00:43.822]She says she was born with the seed of joy [00:48.365]and it blossoms from the inside [00:53.287]In this seed I find all I need [00:57.779]To write the music of my life [01:19.900]My feathered friend, your cage [01:24.715]must drive you to rage sometimes… [01:29.140]To think that you have aged [01:33.098]staring at nothing but beige walls [01:37.512]She says "you know, our lives [01:42.315]aren't so different as you would believe. [01:46.626]All are in prisons of some kind, [01:51.732]tethered by the stories that we weave." [01:56.109]I hear her song rising sweet and strong [02:01.097]and I'm lifted by the sound… [02:05.305]Living proof of a simple truth: [02:09.570]it's in the mind where freedom's found. [02:18.434]All we are is made of stardust and sky [02:28.804]We hold the whole world - The whole world inside. [02:43.288] [03:09.801]A yellow bird, she sings [03:14.548]and dreams of things I've never seen. [03:18.831]And the yellow bird, her wings [03:24.277]have touched everything.
