Oh the sunlight,
Oh the cool breeze,
Oh the sound of the birds in the trees -
These we will celebrate,
While we have time,
These we will celebrate,
While we have time.
Oh these steps on the earth,
The mud on our feet,
While we stamp on the earth,
The mud on our feet…
Below,
Above,
And all around,
Beauty in the movement of time,
Beauty in the movement,
Beauty in the movement,
Beauty in the movement of time.
I’m just a baby bird,
I’m just a baby bird,
I haven’t learned to fly,
But I need food.
I’m just a baby bird,
But I will grow,
And I will fly aloft
Before the seasons go.
I’m a baby bird
And I will learn to fly,
Don’t hold me tight,
Don’t keep me away from this
Before it’s time.
