Lyrics

I saw a bird high in a tree.
I glanced again and it was gone.
The little bird, it flew away,
back to its home, back to its home.

It disappeared into the sky.
It didn't need its wings to fly.
The little bird, that flew away
back to its home, and it was gone.

Time and time, in my mind
I can see it winging.
From the start of my heart
I could hear it singing.

Then I could see in my mind's eye
the bird appear in perfect time.
To resurrect its holy form,
and it was beautiful!
Yes it was beautiful,
so very beautiful!
The little bird.

Time and time, in my mind
I can see it winging.
From the start of my heart
I could hear it singing.

I saw a bird high in a tree.
I glanced again and it was gone.
The little bird, it flew away.
It flew to heav'n, back to its home.
