A Warmer Place
A warmer place
High in the sky
The birds sing to the daylight
Free to love and sing
All talented and in tone
I can listen to the sweet notes
To soar through the open skies
As they organize
Wishing they will find sweet home
I close my eyes to hear them once more
As they set out for a warmer season
I tighten my jacket
Heading to the park that’s near
As I sit and play
My mother starts to sing
I pretend I am a bird
Flapping my wings and never resting
To keep going till I feel the weather change
Setting out for a new beginning
Meeting other birds just like me
On my way home still flapping away till I get home
Inside a warmer place where I can start a new life, starting today
Because I want to be high in the sky
With my wings still strong flying all night
