Story behind the song
Aaron Bewza sent me this magnificent composition - LIKE A BIRD. This is a milestone kind of song for me, Aaron having asked me provide the lyric AND to sing - something I've never done before (while 'pro' recording that is) and at a time when I felt the least capable. After nearly 3 long years, I believe this bird's leaving the nest. I'm favored and honored to work with a brother of such caliber, God given talent and integrity. What a God. To put the icing on the cake, God blessed me by adding ART N VON into the mix. Without them, this song would not be where it is... they took me, a complete novice, into their studio and patiently, lovingly gave me 'on the job' training. This is the rough cut and my first time ever singing lead which I could not have done without the love and care of both Art and Von....AND THE PROMPTING OF GOD. I stand in awe as I sing with my precious sister and God given friend. May God continue to bless this song, mostly by anointing it to do a work of His design--and to SOAR to the heavens. Thank you, God for being the wind beneath our wings.
Lyrics
LIKE A BIRD (c)2006 Diane Barnes/Yvonne Bach music: Aaron Bewza v1- Cold and hungry in your nest a prisioner for too long Longing to just break away but the now is just too strong v2 Change is hard yet you feel the need to throw caution to the wind To believe in something you can't see coz you know that you have sinned Chorus: Like a bird, trust the sky listen to Him whisper, Reach out to Him and fly Like a bird, trust the sky Listen to your heart - Take a leap and fly Like a bird------- v3 Your fear of change, and fear of flight with feet on shifting sand live on that foundation and you'll never take a stand Break away, and fly like a bird Break away------and fly like a bird INTO HIS LOVE------- v4 If His eyes are on the sparrow, They will surely be on you I can tell you feel His Presence, that you want to know Him too Chorus: Like a bird, trust the sky Listen to Him whisper, reach out to Him and fly Like a bird, trust the sky Listen to your heart, take a leap and fly Like a bird------- Break away, and fly like a bird Break away------and fly like a bird INTO HIS LOVE-------

Hey I love the way this turned out! Excellent singing and harmonies, but the production could be improved if the original separate tracks were used to mix the vocals into. Then they would not "compete" so much. Glad to see the positive comments on this one, you did a very very fine job on it, Dia! And the piano's not half-bad HAHA! Ok later... Aaron

Beautiful song. Well done...I really enjoyed this. There was one maybe two places the music is just a little over bearing on the vocal. The words are beautiful you want to be able to hear the message. That would be the only thing if any I would change, just the mix, a tad and bring vocal out where it is covered by the music. I agree the The piano is beautiful. Wonderful song, you did a great job.
