3 birds, White vision
by KayLaLa
Lyrics
INTRO — FEMALE soft but not whisper ONLY
Three wings.
One white sky.
A road I couldn't see.
And somehow, Lord,
You brought me through.
VERSE 1 — FEMALE LEAD SOLO, NO HARMONIES
I carried a child beneath my heart,
My eldest beside me, another hard start.
A minor exchange on a road I knew,
Just a mother with a child to bring through.
Then daylight vanished, the windshield went white,
Three birds struck the glass in the blink of an eye.
I couldn't see forward, couldn't explain,
Yet somehow I steered through that blinding strange pain.
No twisted metal, no wreckage behind,
Just a question that followed the years of my life.
Was it a moment? Was mercy there?
Why did I make it through when I couldn't see where?
PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE SOLO
No trumpet sounded.
No voice explained.
Just breath in my body
When the light returned again.
[CHORUS — FEMALE LEAD; MALE HARMONY ONLY ON THE FINAL LINE]
Three seals on the glass,
Three shadows that passed.
One moment of white
I carried through time.
First came the silence,
Then sorrow's cost.
Then came the choice:
Be awakened, not lost.
Jesus, guide my steps
When I cannot see.
Keep fear from becoming
The faith inside me.
[VERSE 2 — FEMALE LEAD SOLO, NO MALE VOICE]
Then my brother was murdered—
And the world changed shape.
A life stolen violently,
A future erased.
My brother, my blood,
A name I still carry.
A wound without answers,
A weight I still bury.
I think of that morning,
Those wings on the glass.
I wonder if the memory
Was warning or chance.
Did grief make a doorway
Back into that day?
Did loss put new meaning
On what I can't explain?
I won't say I knew it.
I won't claim I was shown.
But the questions grow louder
When you've buried your own.
PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE SOLO, VIOLIN RISING
If You were beside me,
You know what I saw.
You know what I carry.
You know every flaw.
I cannot read tomorrow
In the wings of the dead.
But I can seek Your wisdom
In the life I have left.
[CHORUS — FEMALE LEAD; MALE HARMONY ONLY ON THE FINAL LINE]
Three seals on the glass,
Three shadows that passed.
One moment of white
I carried through time.
First came the silence,
Then sorrow's cost.
Then came the choice:
Be awakened, not lost.
Jesus, guide my steps
When I cannot see.
Keep fear from becoming
The faith inside me.
[BRIDGE — FEMALE SPOKEN PRAYER; ABSOLUTELY NO MALE VOCALS]
I was a mother.
I was carrying life.
I was driving my daughter
Through another hard time.
Then the world went white.
And somehow, I survived.
Lord, I don't know why my brother died.
I don't know why murder took his life.
I cannot turn that pain into prophecy.
I cannot make the past explain itself to me.
But hear me, Jesus—
I am still here.
Don't let my grief become fear.
Don't let each shadow become a sign.
Give me discernment,
But peace of mind.
If You were holding that wheel,
You know the road I crossed.
You know what I survived.
You know what I have lost.
VIOLIN SOLO — SOULFUL, RAW, WORDLESS
Three descending notes.
A pause.
One note rising toward the light.
VERSE 3 — FEMALE LEAD SOLO
The first seal broke my ordinary day.
The second changed the way I saw yesterday.
The third is the life I choose to live:
Love those still here. Give what I can give.
I am not the graveyard.
I am not the storm.
I am not the shape
The world tried to form.
I am the root beneath the stone,
The voice that rises when left alone.
I cannot know what tomorrow will bring,
But I won't surrender my peace to a wing.
[FINAL CHORUS — FEMALE LEAD FULL POWER; MALE HARMONY ONLY ON FINAL LINE]
Three seals on the glass—
A mystery that lasts.
I cannot know why,
But I'm still alive.
I carry my brother.
I honor the past.
I choose love and wisdom
While this breath can last.
Jesus, guide my steps
When I cannot see.
Let me live awake,
But let me live free.
FEMALE SOLO — LAST TWO LINES, NO HARMONY
I leave the question at Your altar.
I leave the fear outside the door.
I've lost the ones I love.
I'm still here.
And I can love once more.
[OUTRO — FEMALE WHISPER, SINGLE VIOLIN NOTE]
Three seals.
One life.
No fear shall own my sight.
