Wind up Bird Song (For Japan) - Diane Birch

Part, part of an ocean wide

Part, part of your hope inside

Here comes life with a knife again

Shows no conscience, no mercy

Take my hand, reaching out for you

Don’t let go, whatever you do

When the nights are cold

And the days are just too long

When inside you hear

All the sirens going strong

I learn to feel the wind up bird song

I’ll stay with you until the nights come and go

Time bringing a better year

Will this world still be here by then

Rivers deep and it’s far too wide

To swim across all on your own

There’s an angel reaching out for you

Don’t give up, whatever you do

When the water’s cold

And the air is just too strong

When you lose your fight

And can’t find where you belong

I learn to feel the wind up bird song

I’ll stay with you until the nights come and go
