Fly Like A Bird

There was a howl that night

A howling like they'd never heard before

A cry so loud old granddad almost hit the door

He said

"I love this child

As much as any one that she ever bore

But I thank the Lord we won't be having any more"

Then the baby heard

The sweetest sound he'd ever heard

In tones so beautiful

He hung on every word

She sang

"Hush my love

Granny's little dove is gonna take to the sky"

It was on such a night he learned to fly like a bird

Now the years have passed

And memories come and go

He hears that voice

That rocked him gently so

A calm will descend

And there's peace at the end

Of the darkest night

Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I fly like a bird

Now the years have passed

And memories come and go

He hears that voice

That rocked him gently so

Well the rains gonna fall

And the winds may blow

On the darkest night

Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I fly like a bird

A calm will descend

And there's peace at the end

Of the darkest night

Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I fly like a bird
