"Red Bird" lyrics

So I see myself
A mother's only daughter in the red of the earth
Tell the blue jays, "come inside"
You love to watch them, now so do I

Little specks of us
In my mind I can see you, but sometimes I can't look
And it only gets harder
Because I only love you more

When I'm looking for home
And it's right across the pond
And the sun is starting to fall
And my feet are getting cold
I know

So I feel like this
We both feel so much, I know it from the years I've watched you live
But the sunrise always came
And it sometimes made you happy

And if I was afraid
You told me not to be
But were you afraid?
I understand the birds now that I've learned some things
Yeah, I think
