Why does the bird sing? Who does it call When it calls Does it become tired of calling Silence While it stares around Black bird Above me Who do you want to see Why do you keep flying From tree to tree When I first saw you You were stretched out on an arm I wonder if you are Like me Expecting harm But you fly away Fly around Fly Beautiful Black bird Where did you go that fast I wish I could take you To see beauty that will last I wish I could fly you over the Earth Where the world was given birth I wish we could look From a distance At what God did from an instance Beautiful Black bird I wish that you could show me All that you’ve seen But I wonder if you know All that it would mean The first time I glanced at you I knew that you were special A loud call you gave Did they hear your call Or did they pass you by I heard your call But it wasn’t for me Beautiful Black Bird If I called you Would you answer me?
