Song Meaning of “Thunderbird” by Sonny Burgess
‘Thunderbird’ by Sonny Burgess is a song about an adventure of self-discovery. The protagonist starts off by flying high like a Thunderbird—symbolic of the freedom that comes with being in charge of one’s own destiny. He’s out on a journey, searching for something he can’t seem to find—his purpose in life. He is determined to discover the truth, no matter what the cost, and will live by his own rules if he can just find the courage to be true to himself. The thunderbird in the song symbolizes strength, courage, and the power of self-belief—no matter how hard the journey may be, no matter how much he faces opposition, if the protagonist holds fast to his convictions, he will eventually reach his destination. It’s a powerful reminder that it is within all of us to find the courage to define our own paths in life.
