Another powerful gem from this blessed and gifted soul. love her. the vocals and sounds on this song are crazy!

i think it's about the abuse of young girls, in cultural traditions..
and when she says 'when you shared your secret with the world, you saved another mother's child', it means that the world finding out about this continual and harmful tradition happening, that people took action.. and probably saved future girls from going through the same ordeal...
that's my take.

Can some translate this song for me. I mean, I know it's deep, but not sure what exactly it means.

This song is very deep & I'm inlove with it

Wow, I am just discovering her music today but she is truly blessed....

luv this song!!!!!

wow i never knew the song was about tht! tht is deep

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT...THATS PRETTY DEEP THERE
WOW...

I love this song...

In a land far away where the sun doesn't spare a soul
and a twisted tradition has a girl in a strangle hold
Lies a desert with the footprints
of little girls with a secret
of a pain
that you and I could never know

Little feet running fast as they can like the bird in flight
through days of sand with a fire in the sky
And through indigo nights
she runs away from a life spent
Being witness to other unwilling participants
of a pain
that you and I will never know

[Chorus]

Your'e a bravebird (bravebird)
of the rarest kind (kind)
You may be one of the walking wounded
but still you fly

You're a bravebird (bravebird)
you put yourself on the line
When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mother's child

As she speaks, you can tell that the
words are not easy to say
They hold the power to transport her back to that impossible day
but she hasn't any regrets
cuz' she won't become a woman with a secret
of a pain
that you and I could never know
you and I could never know
you and I could never know

[Chorus]
