Bright sky blue Who now fades too Frames birds on the wing Whose sweet songs too sad so sing Now only an echo in my mind As sky fades to black I wonder if he'll ever be back And if we had ears to hear Would we act out of fear Or could we realize We often grew up believing lies Deafened I couldn't hear that birdsong Singing truth simple and strong My eyes blinded By selfish complications Bright sky blue Will my children's children ever know you Those birds on the wing Have a song they need to sing To their children and my children too It's a song of truth Unpolluted by time or tongue It's a song that tells Of all being one If you can get past your fear It's a song you should hear Deafened I could not hear that birdsong Singing truth simple and strong Blind I could not see that birdsong Singing truth simple and strong
