Kathy Mar - Songbird

1982 Kathy Mar

Chorus: I dwell in the Songhouse
And song is my breath
I will sing my life long
And in shrouds made of song
I will sleep at my death
I was born to be Songbird

And my song will be love
And the music will rise
Through the depths of the skies
To the planets above

I was bought in the market
For silver and song
And I grew in the Songhouse To be noble and strong
And the song grew within me
And my voice soon took wing
Now the love cradles 'round me
With each note I sing

Chorus

As the Emperor's Songbird
I was trained from the start
From the very first teacher
Who opened my heart
To the people who heard me
In the palace each day
I have given my music
And my spirit away
