[Verse]
Rio fluttered by the window one bright day
The latch wide open
He flew far away
Colored feathers flashed through the morning glow
Didn’t think it was goodbye
Didn’t know
[Chorus]
Through the wind and rain
Through the beast from the east
You fought for survival
A beauty unreleased
A tiny warrior in the heart of the storm
Six months you wandered till you came back home
[Verse 2]
Each night the winds howled loud
They tore the skies
Rio vanished ‘neath the gray and open cries
We watched the trees bend and the streets freeze
But you held on
Tiny fighter
To the breeze
[Chorus]
Through the wind and rain
Through the beast from the east
You fought for survival
A beauty unreleased
A tiny warrior in the heart of the storm
Six months you wandered till you came back home
[Bridge]
Found you battered
Your wings worn
A tale untold
In your eyes
A fire still bright
Still bold
Back to the perch we made
Your sacred throne
But fate whispered softly
And it took you home
[Chorus]
Through the wind and rain
Through the beast from the east
You fought for survival
A beauty unreleased
A tiny warrior in the heart of the storm
Six months you wandered till you came back home
