The Wind and the Birds

Intro – whispers, wings, breath

IPA: [ðə wɪnd breːðz | pæsɪdʒ]

fx: airy pads, wings brushing

Verse 1

At dawn the desert sands of Sahel rise,

the winds break free, unbound by names or ties,

the migrant flocks draw lines across the skies,

above the seas, where frozen borders lie.

Chorus

The wind ⍜ flows through every span,

from shore to shore new lights are born,

the sky expands, no walls, no ban,

one world breathes in the same bright morn.

Verse 2

Red barges cut the jade-green ocean wide,

for eight long days they beat a single flight,

they cross through wars, through harbors set to hide,

bearing a memory larger than our sight.

Chorus

The wind ⌇⌇ flows through every span,

the passages rise from land to land,

the sky unfolds, no cage, no plan,

the Earth unites beneath one hand.

Bridge

Old routes remain beneath our skin,

veins of salt, of exile, hope within,

migration lives ☍, the primal song,

the right to dwell where all belong.

Final Chorus – crescendo

The wind runs free through every span,

courage builds the paths we stand,

the sky expands, no walls, no ban,

one home, one breath, across the land.

Outro – airy fade

choirs sustained, harp shimmer, wing beats dissolving into breath
