LITTLE BIRD
Little bird little bird come home
My skies are empty without you
Little bird little bird come home
Your mother is waiting for you

Haven’t you heard she was dying
So often had she tried to walk
Her feet failed her, she’s now crawling
You can’t hear her, as she can’t talk

But I know you can feel her pain
For you are her blood and her breath
You are the shield against the rain
Don’t let her in the arms of death

Little bird!

Little bird!

Each day kills her a thousand times
She will not make it to the door
She begs God to disclose her crimes
And why He took away her core

The odds are no longer serving
They have turned greedy and empty
Remember she was a great queen
Now she’s a slave tied to a tree

Little bird Hope of Africa
Come home and never leave again
Don’t make today my last stanza
Don’t let me take the midnight train.
