There's a little bird that somebody sent   Down to the earth to live on the wind   Going on the wind and he sleeps on the wind   This little bird that somebody sent      He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue   So thin and graceful the sun shines through   This little bird who lives on the wind   This little bird that somebody sent      He flies so high up in the sky   Way out of reach of human eye   And the only time that he touches the ground   Is when that little bird   Is when that little bird   Is when that little bird dies
