The Lonely Bird
Does anyone listen
To the bird perched upon the tree.
The one who tries to listen
The one who always sees.
Does anyone listen
To the bird soaring through the sky.
The one who sings so loudly
That one sweet lullaby.
Does anyone listen
To the bird perched upon the tree.
The one who's always present
The one we never see.
Does anyone listen
To the bird soaring through the sky.
The one who droops with sadness
The one who never cries.
