Little Bird
Little bird flies through my window
Little bird, taking solace from the snow
Little bird, won't you stay a while
Little bird, rest now for life is cruel and vile
Little bird, a new day has begun
Little bird, fly now toward the sun
Little bird, hide not in the shadows and dark
Little bird, its springtime, time to bloom and rediscover your spark.
