One parrot in a cage   At the home of a friend   Is reason to wonder and stare   Green wings and red face      And a sapphire belly   A racket so loud   As to out shout the tele      But this morning, my prayer   By the side of the sea   Took odds to turn back   To the moon in the trees      Where a green cloud of birds   In a flock of a thou'   Yelled from one to another   It's morning out loud      "It's morning, it's morning   It's morning", they cried   From the edge of the treetops   To the edge of the skies      "It's morning, it's morning   It's morning", they cried   So open your heart   When you open your eyes      And the sound of their voices   Together did blend   Forming chords of awakening   If I'm not here again      For they shouted   Never again would they fly   In such numbers across   Such a primitive sky      And they noticed my heart   As it sank to the sand   Do not hurry they called   It's all part of a plan      [Unverified]
