Song

 

  

 

The birds of heaven sing a brighter song                                                                                      

Y’can tweet the lies, y’can tweet the truth,

Put your face in an open book

Send your dreams down the Amazon

Buy your life from a great big con

 

Or open your eyes to the brand new day

Walk in the sun, the wind and the rain

Take your time to love and play

Take your smile and give it away

 

We bury our heads in computer screens

They give us joy in the oddest ways

They carry our minds to other places

They study our lives, they steal our faces

 

Why not open your eyes to the brand new day

Walk in the sun, the wind and the rain

Take your time to love and play

Take your smile and give it away

 

With our likes and dislikes, follows and friends

We use up the hours, and use up the day

But we all we get lost down the paths we choose

And doors that open may as well be closed

 

If we don’t open our eyes to each brand new day

Go walk in the sun, and the wind and the rain

We should take our time to love and play

Give a great big smile and take it away.

 

Just one line to entertain

Share your time in an open book

Fly your dreams down the Amazon

Never waste your days – they’ll soon be gone

 

Open your eyes to each brand new day

Walk in the sun, the wind and the rain,

Gonna take my time to love and play

I’ll give a great big smile and take it away

Saw these two quotes and, God forgive me, it gave me the idea for this song.

Don’t worry, I’ll find a shelf for it.
