Lyrics
One fine day these words I pray
Will breathe a truth
Within yourself upon a shelf
A life anew
So many roads
It's hard to know what to do
All your dreams
All it seems
Is as you choose
For destiny my china bird
Is calling for you
The world turns
The flame burns
Bright and true
Near and far
Where you are
Guiding you
China bird
The open sky
Is yearning for you
If they say it's not that way
Hold your view
Fly above and with my love
A light anew
Spread your wings
The open sky is calling for you
China bird my heart is yearning for you
For you
If you fly away
I'll be waiting come what may
Hold my love a fragile ray
For you
For you
For you
For you
Writer(s): Patti Smith, Oliver Tompkins Ray
