Silver Bird

This morning as I walked, I gazed out across my land

Lying there all still lying there upon the sand

A big silver bird had planted itself into the ground

And being the kind of person who isn´t very easily alarmed

Decided to take a walk to see just what I could find

Walked around the walls, tapping to find me a door

Knocking on a window to see if I could find out more

Big silver bird let me inside your plane

Want to fly so high fly me high, away

All of a sudden the door slid back and someone was there

A strange kind of being spoke to me in my tongue

"Step inside, we´ll take you away in our plane

To leave this earth, never you will rule to complain"

Stepping inside I fixed myself into a seat

Holding on, Lord, I heard them engines start to beat

Big silver bird let me inside your plane

Want to fly so high, fly me high away
