Winding ways
Shifting streets
Running roads
The car where she sleeps

Driving along these roads
Praying to get home on time
Eating her supply
Counting every dime

Soon she will be home
Just a few days
Least that's what she tells herself
So her dilemma will be erased

Just a woman trying to get home
Sleeps the night
Wake up in the morning
Back to the driving fight

She’s been gone enough
She needs to see her son
She must see him
Before her time is done

She escaped hospice you see
She is in great despair
She’s slowing dying
She knows it not fair


But her son must know
Her son must see
She didn't forget him
She had to flee

She will explain it all
Explain why she fled
And maybe she won't leave
Maybe she'll stay instead

But what's that light
She's got her blinker
It seems so stupid
But alas we have another drinker

Blinding lights
In the night?
I guess her time
Was tonight

As she lay down
At peace at rest
She can go out
Knowing she tried her best

Her son came to see her
Tears in his eyes
He was not expecting
This kind of surprise



They told him she was on her way
To visit him, a last chance
To fight her cancer
To live breath and dance

But her final moments
In the car she loves
On her way to see her son
But now she's above

Shields up serve your country
Swords drawn protect your land
Stand tall save your people
For in society we all need a hand

But the shield gets heavy
The arms get tired
The legs grow weary
So courage is required

To push through the pain
Assist those you love
Pray to the heavens
For help from above

To sit still
To stand straight
To love from morning early
To love from night late

You crack and crumble
Tears streaming down
But you know you can't break
It'll be seen world round

But you see the birds in the sky
Flying true north
The wings outstretched
And brings unknown assistance forth


It flies so free
With courage and pride
It ignites a strange feeling
A fire inside

You storm up the hill
New courage found
Charge forth shield sword and all
Making noise loud and proud

Find the birds courage
It’s flying strength
The fire inside
Going to great lengths

So fight for what's right
Fight for what's true
And the right way itself
Will reveal to you

Don't let others tell you
What to believe
Be like the bird
With wings up your sleeve
