Come Out and Play

I look out my window and what do I see 
All kinds of birds sitting in a tree
They squawk and they chirp 
Come out, come out, come out and play
You are missing such a beautiful day
Longing fills my heart so 
Thinking and wishing that I could go
Fly through the air with not a care
Be a bird with them out there
But alas this is not to be
I can not fly like the birds in the trees
So I sit and I watch the birds at play
Dreaming that someday I just may
Go dancing in the wind, twirling in a spin
Soaring here and there going everywhere
The birds will laugh and chuckle 
To see this wonderers sight
A human who can fly just like a kite 
I answered their plea to come out to play 
We all had such a wonderful day
