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
