Tekst Utworu

I heard a mother swallow sing
When I was just a lad
Although she perched there all alone
Her song was not that sad
I asked why she was singing,
For she sought no fame nor mate
''I sing so you might learn, my boy,
Come here, it's getting late.''
She said be thankful for the sun and rain
And for the frost and snow
Be patient when your pocket's bare
It soon will over flow
For there's beauty in the waiting,
After time, it always shows.
There's reason for the hardship
And the thorns upon the rose.
As years went on and time passed by
Her clutch all flew the nest.
She travelled all around the world
But home's where she loved best.
She loved and lost and paid the cost
Put blood above the rest.
Her faith did never falter
And her words withstood the test.
She said be thankful for the sun and rain
And for the frost and snow
Be patient when your pocket's bare
It soon will over flow
For there's beauty in the waiting,
After time, it always shows.
There's reason for the hardship
And the thorns upon the rose.
And now my bones are tired, child,
My wings won't take me far.
My mind is getting weary,
I soon won't know who you are.
If ever in distress while on
The winding road ahead
Take comfort in the life I've lived
And words that I have said
Be thankful for the sun and rain
And for the frost and snow
Be patient when your pocket's bare
It soon will over flow
For there's beauty in the waiting,
After time, it always shows.
There's reason for the hardship
And the thorns upon the rose.
She said be thankful for the sun and rain
And for the frost and snow
Be patient when your pocket's bare
It soon will over flow
For there's beauty in the waiting,
After time, it always shows.
There's reason for the hardship
And the thorns upon the rose.
