fly pretty bird
swoop and soar
dive towards earth and then
with seconds to spare
pull away and glide once more

fly pretty bird
the cupped hands that once held you
now come together in prayer
praise the beauty that now
is released once more

sing pretty bird
sing a song to freedom
sing a song to love
sing sweet and strong
and somewhere in the night your love will hear you
and the stars will sparkle in the sky
like they have never done before

smile pretty bird
and know the hands that held you dear
live forever with the pleasure
of the love that flew from here
