Story Behind The Song
I was getting ready for a Thanksgiving concert. One evening I went through a ton of old folk songs to find a good set for my gig. Next morning this song, just came out. The message of this song, was a result of my thoughts about the path that we take to get where we want. That we go through good and bad, that we have to touch some dark places in ourselves to find the light. But we can only be happy by being honset about our lives and about following our dreams.
Song Description
Restless Bird is about searching for your path and then understading that there is no other way to be happy in life, then following your dreams.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Like a restless bird
I discover things
That are new to me, yet I'm part of them,
And they're part of me.
Where the shadows grow
Where the light is gone
I keep seeking truth
But it runs away, like a restless bird
Chorus:
So where, where should I go
And how, how should I know
that you, you will be there
And the truth will be your share
Verse 2
Listen to me now,
This is not a race,
hang on to your smile
On a cloudy days,
There's no second chance
Chorus:
So where, where should I go
And how, how should I know
that you, you will be there
And the truth will be your share
Verse 3
Deep inside of you,
There is no relief
if you won't be honest
honest with yourself
honest with your dreams
