[Verse 1]
You’re running out of faith I can see
And you don’t know where to go
Don’t know what to do yeah
If you obey the Lord your God
And follow all his commands
He will never let you down
He will always be there for you
Trust in him Pray every day and night
He will answer and show you where to go x2
[Chorus]
If you trust in him he will lift you up
Like a bird Like a bird
He will show you great and mighty things
You know not
You know not
Like a bird like a bird
[Bridge]
I see your life is turning down
Don’t worry but you trust in him
He’ll lift you high above the nations believe
When troubles he’ll help you through
He’ll lift you when you’re falling down
His love is true and He is faithful believe
[Outro]
If you trust in him
He will lift you up
Like a bird bird yuh huh x3
Like A Bird
Song Meaning
Proclaim Music opens "Like A Bird" naming exhaustion before offering any remedy — "you're running out of faith I can see, and you don't know where to go, don't know what to do" — describing someone stuck rather than someone already convinced. "If you obey the Lord your God and follow all His commands, He will never let you down" ties the promise directly to a condition, not a vague reassurance.
"Trust in Him, pray every day and night, He will answer and show you where to go" repeats the same instruction twice for emphasis, and the chorus's central image keeps returning to lightness rather than struggle — "if you trust in Him he will lift you up, like a bird, like a bird" — letting flight stand in for whatever effort the listener expected instead.
"He will show you great and mighty things you know not" borrows Jeremiah's language almost directly, and the bridge's list of troubles — "I see your life is turning down... He'll lift you when you're falling down" — answers descent with the same lifting image each time. "His love is true and He is faithful" closes the bridge on two plain claims rather than an argument, letting the repeated hook carry the song out.
