trade my troubles

I'll trade my troubles for bird songs

Take me back in time

And if I watch them closely

They perch along the lines

'Cause you and I are ancient

Grace is our baseline

But the heart's a heavy angel

If you cannot read the signs

I'll trade my troubles

To hear their call

I'll trade my troubles

Right before the fall

I'll trade my troubles

To hear their call

Underneath the rubble

Is the writing on the wall

Mmmhmmm

I hear there are two sisters

Called Grief and Gratitude

That lift the summer sparrow

And lighten up the mood

The heart's a winged arrow

And the mind's a loaded brood

The softness of the ribcage

And the gift of latitude

I'll trade my troubles

To hear their call

I'll trade my troubles

Right before the fall

I'll trade my troubles

To hear their call

Underneath the rubble

Is the writing on the wall

Ooooh, yeah

(yeah)

I'll trade my troubles

Yeah

Ooooh, yeah

( yeah)

I'll trade my troubles

(mmm)

Ooooh, yeah

I'll trade my troubles for bird songs

Let them wash away the pain

The melody comes easy

To bring about the grain

And if you wanna hold on

Focus on the spine

I'll trade my burdens for bird songs

Holier than wine

I'll trade my troubles

To hear their call

I'll trade my troubles

Right before the fall

I'll trade my troubles

To hear their call

Underneath the rubble

Is the writing on the wall

Ooooh, yeah

I'll trade my troubles

Ooooh, yeah

I'll trade my troubles

Yeah

hmmm
