I have listened carefully to the song via Spotify, and this is what I hear. (I realize the lyrics posted by VTim may be closer to what the songwriters intended.)


LIKE A SONGBIRD THAT HAS FALLEN
As sung by The Reel Time Travelers on "Cold Mountain" (soundtrack album)

Paths are there for us to follow; this is gospel I believe.
Angels are around us flying, truth and mercy to receive.

Pictures of uncommon nature, painted by a master's hand,
Draw me ever on life's journey, rendered thus to understand.

As a songbird that is fallen, only to regain the sky,
From this frozen shadow valley may my spirit fly.

Love is from no distance calling, faithful as the rising sun,
Warms the bitter heart in heartache, till the least of it is gone.

Clouds of fear and misconception wax and wane as if the moon.
So is innocence forsaken, till the will of God be known.

As a songbird that is fallen, only to regain the sky,
From this frozen shadow valley may my spirit fly.
