LYRICS - THE BIRD

SHINE DION OFFICIAL WEB SITE

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
