Birds

I heard that birds had ceased to fly
I saw them halted in the sky
Oh why
Did they find no place to go
They lost in buried in the snow
No one knows
But if you turn your head to me
I hope that is not what you see
Though I am too

I know I am getting older
Do the days seem to be getting shorter too
I still want to make you proud
Hear you say the words out loud

Now they have heard their mother's cry
Of all creation born to die
One day
A thought that made them lose their will
Now gives them strength to come unstill
And fly away
Chains and freedom come as one
The proof is what you have become
I stand in awe

I know I am getting older
Do the days seem to be getting shorter too
I still want to make you proud
Hear you say the words out loud
I know I am getting older
Do the days seem to be getting shorter too
I still want to make you proud
Hear you say the words out loud

I heard that birds had ceased to fly
But now I see them soaring high
Oh why
