about
"Little Bird Little Sailor, Time to see of what you are made..."
Taken from my own self-titled debut album, this track has become the theme tune to THE HOMEBIRD SESSIONS show.
I used the motivational lyrics of the song to shape my TEDx Talk of the same name (now featured on TED.com) in the hope it may inspire you to listen to your own inner voice, use fear as a direction marker & work hard to follow and achieve your own dreams.
It links directly to the ethos and values of the show itself, particularly in the Showcase Artist Slot for aspiring songwriters to shine!
The LBLS image has also become the inspirational logo for the Show. The LBLS notebooks, journals, lyric prints etc have been a popular part of my own merchandise for a while now, the limited edition sterling silver little bird and little sailor charms & necklace a favourite!
This track is available to download individually or you can unlock it as a complementary bonus to any merch purchased.
lyrics
Little Bird Little Sailor
Words & Music by Elaine Lennon
(Breathe in breathe out)
(Breathe in breathe out)
Little bird there’s a big world out there to be found
Got your wings all ready but your feet won’t leave the ground
Don’t let your fear of fallin' stop you taking to your sky
Once you learn to fall with grace then you’ll truly fly
What will be will be
What will be will be
Breathe in breathe out, lose the doubt, have some faith and believe
What will be will be
(Breathe in breathe out)
(Breathe in breathe out)
Little sailor storm’s a brewin’, deep desire for something more
Got your boat all ready but it just won’t leave the shore
You know starin' at the water ain’t goin’ get you across your sea
In your boat, safe in port, is not where you’re meant to be…no no
What will be will be
What will be will be
Breathe in breathe out, lose the doubt, have some faith and believe
What will be will be
So just enjoy the wind beneath you, have some fun, jump in the waves!
Little bird little sailor time to see of what you are made
What will be will be
What will be will be
Breathe in breathe out, lose the doubt, have some faith and believe
What will be will be
What will be will be (yeah hey!)
So breathe in breathe out and don’t take yourself so seriously
Breathe in breathe out and don’t take yourself so seriously
