A Bird On The Wire

Living Life Free

The sun is up
It’s a bright new day
The summer breeze
Blows my blues away.
Once again I’m out on the porch
Once again the bird on his perch.
I’m writing my life as it passes me by
It’s mum’s birthday and there’s a tear in my eye
And sometimes I wonder do blackbirds cry?
And sometimes I wonder if I could fly
How would I see myself from so high in the sky?
Oh to be a bird high on the wire
Watching the world from higher and higher
Perhaps the blackbird would like to be me
If only he could see what I can see
A bird on the wire living life free.
