Birdsong (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
The birds in the birches
Do sing merrily
Whistling together
A sweet melody
They ask not for riches
Nor silk finery
Ever-contently
Perched up in their tree

[Verse 2]
I sit inside my home so still
Elbows on the window-sill
Wond'ring at that far-off place
Beyond the window pane
The window it sits ajar
And I can hear the birds afar
And wherever my heart has gone
It goes at once to Thee

[Chorus]
You're soaring over smoke
I'll fly with you as I sleep
And I'll never choke
I'll see through the blinding screen
[1] I would love to see the world
The way you see it for a day
And watch, with every wingbeat, how
Our worries melt away
[2] I would love to meet the one
Who moulded you like clay
Every time we hear your song
Our troubles fade away

[Bridge]
Our fingertips have brought the walls to rubble
But the birds will sing another day
If we only heard what we deserved
We would never hear those birds again

(D, Dmaj7, Gmaj7, Dmaj7)
