Songbird

A heart of gold, a song so pure He heard in awe the overture Gave it wind and gave it sky To spread it's wings and fly Bought a cage to tell a tale What could have been oh nightingale From iron bars to pearly gates A promise-land awaits As she fell there came a cry Softly turning in to stone 'Thank you God for all I've learned' A symphony they wrote as one His pen the earth, it's voice the sun A season change, a longer night His world it couldn't light Spring would come the bird believed What once was bare would grow new leaves From darkness comes a lesson learned To him it would return As she fell there came a cry Softly turning in to stone 'Thank you God for all I've learned' And so to his window it flew Ready to sing a movement new Instead of care his hands were cold Instead a truth untold He pointed to the open air 'It's time to take your song up there' Unsure but ever eager to please The bird found the breeze But before it was out of sight He called up in to the clear night "Look my love, the stars aligned! Seek the truth and ye shall find" And as she fell there came his sigh 'As above, it is below Thank you God for all I've learned'
