Birds flying down

Come the morning

Wakes you up under the sky

Leave my sorrow behind

It only weighs me down

I feel so bad inside



Birds flying home

Come the morning

Raise you up under the sky

Leave my sorrow behind

It only weighs me down

I feel so bad inside



Tell me why Lord

I must learn how to cry

Before I can see where I'm going

Lord why does my sorrow make me feel so good



A new day dawns

Loneliness has been silent enough 'round here

Sunlight blinds our eyes

Everything is coming home to stay for good this time



Tell me why Lord

I must learn how to cry

Before I can see where I'm going

Lord why does my sorrow make me feel so good



Birds flying home

And I'm leaving my sorrow behind
