Lyrics by
Janne Hansen,
Shine Dion.
THE BIRD
The stone lay silent in the sun,
drinking the sun ray’s warmth
Softly it lay on a velvet bed,
peaceful it gazed on the land
Then a bird flew by and cried,
l ook at me, at my joyful flight
To see the mountains, all the seas,
you must wish for a life like me
Never to feel the power of wings,
to go wherever you like
Never to travel far and wide,
that must be boring indeed
So tender the stone replied,
in a voice dark with age
I have seen so much lying here,
it would take me years to tell
Your life is a breath in the air,
fly as long as you can
I saw your forefather here and
I will see your child fly by
Your life is a breath in the air,
fly as far and as long as you can
I saw your forefathers years ago
and will see your children fly by
