When God makes me a bird
I will fly away from here
Perch in the tallest tree
To see the view from there
When God make me a bird
I will have wings to soar
I will flit and be flighty
With no apology
When God makes me a bird
I will build a nest
Of twigs and seeds
And lilies from the field
When God makes me a bird
I will have a voice
I will warble and sing
In harmony with life
When God makes me a bird
I will find a mate
One who stays by me
With me for all time
When God makes me a bird
I will have found grace
Wind under my wings
I will be uplifted
When God makes me a bird
I won't know how to cry
I won't need equality
I will be truly free
When God makes me a bird
I'll fly away from here
I won't look back or down
I will be the sky
When God makes me a bird.......oh how I'll fly.....
