John D. Loudermilk / This Little Bird

 
 This Little Bird / John D. Loudermilk
 
There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the wind.
Born on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sends.
He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird that lives on the wind,
This little bird that somebody sends.
He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time 
that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies
