Scarecrow

By Jason Upton

Lyrics

There's a scarecrow standing in a farmer's field

What it's guarding has not been revealed

I can't find something that's been found before

And i won't find nothing if i close that door


If i were a bird

If i were a foolish bird

I'd listen to my fear

And fly away from here


But if i were a bird

If i were a wise bird

I'd listen to my heart

And find a treasure waiting in the field


There's a scarecrow living in my memory

It just hangs around and stares at me

With eyes that look but cannot see

There's a scarecrow living in my memory


If i were a bird

If i were a foolish bird

I'd listen to my fear

And fly away from here


But if i were a bird

If i were a wise bird

I'd listen to my heart

And find a treasure waiting in the field


Everybody leaves the garden 

Everybody needs a home

Everybody is scared of dying

But no one wants to roll away the stone


Go on a roll away the stone

(repeat)


There's a scarecrow wherever the church bell rings

Terrified by the gift she brings

We can't change nothing without suffering

And even scarecrow's need to hear the songs we sing


If i were a bird

If i were a foolish bird

I'd listen to my fear

And fly away from here


But if i were a bird

If i were a wise bird

I'd listen to my heart

And find a treasure waiting in the field


I am, i am, a child of God

I am, i am, a child of God

(repeat)


Let the fear be gone

Let the fear be gone

Let the fear be gone

You're a child of God

(repeat)


I am, i am, a child of God

I am, i am, a child of God


Let the fear be gone

Let the fear be gone

Let the fear be gone

You're a child of God


I am, i am, a child of God

I am, i am, a child of God
