INTRO:
Li-bi ya-chil be-kir-bi לִבִּי יָחִיל בְּקִרְבִּי / Ha-azina Elohim tefilati הַאֲזִינָה אֱלֹהִים תְּפִלָּתִי
(My heart within is in anguish / Give ear, O God, to my prayer: Tehilim/Psalms 55:5a & 2a)

Deep within / a well of weeping hides
Silent din / filled with voiceless cries
If only I were a bird / If only I were a bird / I would fly to Your Mountain tonight

Broken wings / a perch of painful spikes
Restless things / fill my days and my nights
If only I were a bird / If only I were a bird / I would fly to Your Mountain tonight

Can't change the Past / Won't force the Future, too
Lord, take my Now / And I will trust in You

Fly away little bird / Fly away, Ma-kha-seh' (shelter/refuge)
Va-ani evtach bach, Elohim אֱלֹהִים בָּךְ וַאֲנִי אֶבְטַח / Va-ADONAI yo-shi -eh -ni וַיהוָה יוֹשִׁיעֵנִי
(And I will trust in you, Elohim / and YHVH shall save me: Tehilim/Psalms 55:24b, 17b)
