The Atlas Bird

(Verse 1) Sunrise paints the eastern sky, a feather light I wake The wind whispers secrets, a journey I must take A tiny speck against the blue, my wings begin to beat Leaving nest and family, on a voyage bittersweet (Chorus) Across the mountains, vast and grand, over oceans deep and wide A feathered pilgrim, map in hand, with currents as my guide From sun-drenched beaches to the snow, I'll chase the changing light A song of freedom, soaring high, a bird in endless flight (Verse 2) Over bustling cities, towers pierce the clouds Across the plains where zebras graze, and lions roar so proud Through emerald jungles, vibrant green, with monkeys swinging free Each land a treasure, a sight unseen, a melody for me (Chorus) Across the mountains, vast and grand, over oceans deep and wide A feathered pilgrim, map in hand, with currents as my guide From sun-drenched beaches to the snow, I'll chase the changing light A song of freedom, soaring high, a bird in endless flight [Bridge] [Flute solo] (Verse 3) The moon replaces sun's warm glow, a lullaby of stars A million miles I've traveled on, beneath the Milky Way's soft scars The call of home, a gentle tug, a whisper on the breeze But wanderlust still burns so strong, carried by the rustling trees (Chorus) Across the mountains, vast and grand, over oceans deep and wide A feathered pilgrim, map in hand, with currents as my guide From sun-drenched beaches to the snow, I'll chase the changing light A song of freedom, soaring high, a bird in endless flight (Outro) The world unfolds, a tapestry, a whisper on the wind This endless journey, part of me, a song that has no end
