Notes About The Poem

Six Birds of Heaven--

Tweet, tweet, tweet, Tweet, tweet, tweet, Tweet, tweet, tweet, 
Doot doot doot
Sounds of summer
It's a new day
And there's a robin red breast up in the trees
Summer

There is a mother blue-jay feeding her young 
And learning them how to fly
And down from the tree falls one
One young bird falls to the ground
He was the sixth bird, he was the sixth bird of heaven
Oh. he was the sixth bird, six bird of heaven

The sight of a young boy playing near by
He sees the blue-jay falls from the sky
Running to retrieve it he too falls skins his knee

All he does is cry
Begging please, he sings
All he does is cry
Saying, begging please to the Lord
That our bird from heaven send a message from my love
The second bird of heaven fell from the skies above
And lonely sits the third bird as he watches and hears his brothers cries
And the Lord above watches all
And the forth bird hears the call

Of help it’s from a man his wisdom and his power brings glory to us all;
The rest and the fifth bird, Oh! And the fifth bird waits waiting for the sixth bird of heaven above;
For they too all together carry love, love, love, love, love
To everyone, everyone one below
Oh, yea
It was the sixth bird, six birds of heaven glory, six birds of heaven
It was the sixth bird, six birds of heaven holy, six birds of heaven
It was the sixth bird, six birds of heaven only, six birds, just birds of heaven
Alleluia glory
It was the sixth bird, it was the sixth bird
Six birds of heaven

It was the sixth bird , sixth bird of heaven, sixth bird of heaven
