Did Anyone Hear the Song Bird Cry
Deep in the woods in the dark of night
Creatures crawling, hunting til daylight
Did anyone hear the song bird cry
A sorrowful whistle, don't know why
The sun arose over the hill
People, animals eating their morning meal
Did anyone hear the song bird cry
A sorrowful whistle, don't know why
The whistle became louder hard to ignore
Work, duties, everyone rushing out the door
In the midst of it all the song bird cried
His sorrowful song could be heard over the tide
The tide of the ocean as the waves hit the shore
A sorrowful whistle heard over the ocean roar
Did anyone hear the song bird cry
A sorrowful whistle, don't know why
People people everywhere
The sad whistle, does anyone care
Rushing around with their lives
Singles, children, husbands and wives
Did anyone notice as the little bird cried in vain
On the branches his tear drops leaving a stain
Did anyone hear the song bird cry
A sorrowful whistle, don't know why
Wait, there is one searching for the sound
Of the sorrowful whistle heard all around
Some aggravated wanted to destroy
Could care less if sad little bird was girl or boy
Luckily a kind soul found the little bird in a nest
He kissed away his tears and gave him the best
A sorrowful whistle no longer the little bird's cry
No time for sadness, he can to the sky and beyond fly
A sorrowful whistle no longer will be heard
He was given a chance, now can fly like a bird
So if a sorrowful whistle is heard by you
Will you help or ignore, what will you do
