Cuckoo

Cuckoo, far from your home

Strange is your song to the tree where you've flown

Counting the stars in an unfamiliar sky

Cuckoo, do you wonder why?

Cuckoo, I've seen you hide

Safe from the ways of the world there outside

Is there a hope that you'll never, never show?

Cuckoo, with you it will grow

Cuckoo, did you know

The earth's far below you now

But the air is wide and waiting?

Cuckoo, did you know

You carry your home in your wings?

In the darkness of sorrow, you'll sing

Cuckoo, don't you stay still

Put air under your wings or someone else will

Truth's in the song you sing plainly by night

All while you stay out of sight

Cuckoo, why is it that you

Freeze before the fall with a feather too few?

Open your eyes day by day by day by day

Cuckoo, to leap is life's way

Cuckoo, to leap is life's way

Cuckoo, to leap is life's way

Cuckoo, to leap is life's way
