歌曲歌詞

Sometimes we feel the power of gods great hands are failed by some not worthy

While those who sing and praise god's name seem to be passed by

But worthy or not god loves us all or even a little bird that couldn't fly

Why is life given and taken away to soon for some to tell

And others live for many years and walk a path to hell

A cripple at birth may speak gods name and tender tongues with pain

While a man with hell ends well or take gods name in vein

But gods reasons may not be known or questioned by me and you

Like the little bird i saw like the bird that never flew

I feel close to each name god made the earth the sky the sea

And each creature living here belongs to him

Even you and me and

One day when i was walking along i saw some of gods beautiful things

By the path by which i walked i saw a small bird that had no wings

So i sat down and held out my hand and that little bird climbed on

And i held him for a long long time i thought that maybe his mom might come

And he looked at me and thought he might of found him a friend for a bird that never flew

So i built him a house on the ground like a few birds i've ever know

And he seemed to be so happy there with some friends he knew and his new home

And for two years i watched and fed him as with the other birds he played

But when they got tired they just flew away

Then i looked at the loneliness in his eyes and watched the birds fly into the blue

But then i look at understandience though he knew why he couldn't do that to

And then one summary evening at sunset i saw a perfect picture of love

Each one of his playmates where beautiful white doves

Then the ruffle of their feathers as they started into flight

But then i noticed all but one dove was fine

But he looked like my bird but he had wings solid gold and new

But then i knew it was my bird the little bird that never flew until then
