Gliding Bird

(Tom Slocum)



Gliding bird, gliding through the sky

I'm wondering why I can't be why

I can't be as free.



Gliding bird, gliding all day long, sing your secret song

Away from all these faces that I see, is where I want to be

My feet are so tired they walked too many miles

If I run so wild like heaven's child, I'll learn to fly someday



Gliding bird, riding in the sun, rainbow colors run

I hear the wind I hear its mournful call

Gliding bird, high above the sea, is it longing to be free

Your voice is silent but your wings tell all...
