little bird

Misty Edwards

Little girl, little girl with the big round eyes
Little bird, little bird, one day you'll fly
A breathtaking flight of life you'll fly
Then little bird, little bird, you will die

Because life, life is a vapor
But the brevity is what makes it a treasure
So feel it all like a love letter
To the one you will live with forever
His eye is on the sparrow
His eye is on you

What then, what then when it's all over?
Little bones, little bones the dust will cover
Little spirit, little spirit you'll live on
With the soul of the bird that goes on and on
Then little bones, little bones
You will rise and little girl, little girl
You will fly
Fly
