Wild Birds

Headed north where the snow geese go

Troubled hearts, hope the kids don’t know

Prairie wind, are you talking to me?

You gotta speak your mind through the rattling trees

You can freeze the body but the eye still sees

Take your cue from the moss and stone

Keep the few and leave the others alone

We lost our way, hear the voices behind

The way is green ahead but the path is unkind

You got to save your soul no matter what you find

Guide us home on a wing and a prayer

Talk to you later when we land somewhere

Wild birds singing their mournful song

Wild birds living in a world gone wrong

Making friends with the lowland tide

The car’s on fire, it seems our god was denied

The jury waits we all know it’s a crime

No way to build a case cause there’s so little time

No laws on earth can justify this crime

Guide us home on a wing and a prayer

Talk to you later when we land somewhere

Wild birds singing their mournful song

Wild birds living in a world gone wrong

So take my hand and squeeze it tight

Wayward son we can make it right

Fading eyes, you’ve given more than your share

You’re trying to turn the page, but you’re already there

One more kiss we’ve got love to spare

Guide us home on a wing and a prayer

Talk to you later when we land somewhere

Wild birds singing their mournful song

Wild birds living in a world gone wrong

Wild birds singing their mournful song

Wild birds living in a world gone wrong
