They tell us autumn's a-comin'   And soon everything around us will die   Only a fool believes that he is   Different from the birds in the sky      All those birds go chasin'   Some better, sunny days   You can't hear them singing   'Cause they've all gone away      But this one bird didn't leave you   It stayed through the wintertime   You can't hear it sing   But you can hear it as it flies      So don't you believe them   They'll destroy you with their lies   They only see the obvious   They see the sun go down but they don't see it rise      This one bird didn't leave you   You can hear it as it flies   It's not very loud   But you can hear it if you try      So don't you believe them   Yes, it's true, someday everything dies   We won't let that defeat us   We can't hear him sing but we can hear it as it flies
