I am a little bird
Not long ago I set out for my first flight
I flew high and I flew swift
I am in such wonderful bliss.
I flew and flew
Spreading my wings with magnificent grandeur
I flew across the forest green
I flew across the valleys
I flew across the ocean blue
and I flew in the clouds.
Then I turned back to look behind
I want mommy and daddy to see
and let them be proud of me
But I see no one, not a single soul
no mommy and no daddy
It was all empty.
Now I am all alone
Lost, frightened and cold
I see the big red sun setting beyond
as darkness slowly creeps in.
In that quiet moment
A tear fell from my eye
as my dreams fade away
in the last gleams of daylight.
