Birds flying down Come the morning Wakes you up under the sky Leave my sorrow behind It only weighs me down I feel so bad inside Birds flying home Come the morning Raise you up under the sky Leave my sorrow behind It only weighs me down I feel so bad inside Tell me why Lord I must learn how to cry Before I can see where I'm going Lord why does my sorrow make me feel so good
A new day dawns Loneliness has been silent enough 'round here Sunlight blinds our eyes Everything is coming home to stay for good this time Tell me why Lord I must learn how to cry Before I can see where I'm going Lord why does my sorrow make me feel so good Birds flying home And I'm leaving my sorrow behind
