Song Birds Weep

When stars cease to fill the vast sky each night Or the full moon no longer bathes us in her light When the sun has chosen to no longer rise each morn Then will come the time that man can love no more When the roll of thunder no longer can be heard And lightening within storms leaves your awareness unstirred When the winds no longer sweep the clouds along That will be when mankind walks round with heads hung If the oceans were to still, to no longer ebb and flow And all we saw were shades of grey when looking at a rainbow When songbirds all weep instead of warbling their song It's that time we will know our lives cannot go on
