A red bird was perched upon a tree <br />As beautiful and free as a bird could be <br />Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly? <br />To be able to soar as high as the big blue sky <br />Have you ever wondered how they survive? <br />Just what it is that keeps them alive <br />Life isn't always as easy as it seems <br />Maybe that's why they usually travel in teams <br />They fly for hours without taking a rest <br />For tiny pieces of straw to make a nest <br />They're chirping all day singing a song <br />I bet their days never seem long <br />But I know their maker is the same as mine <br />The one who turns the water into wine <br />He cares for all animals great and small <br />Just like his children, one and all <br />These little birds have no care in the world <br />As they fly around all day and tumble and twirl <br />Can we not humble ourselves as to be so free <br />As these tiny little birds chirping in a tree<br /><br />Pamela O.
