If I Were A Bird Tonight

If I were a bird tonight, I’d fly away home
Home to the place where the wind is warm
And summer’s sweet breath that knows no harm
I would fly so high, I’d sing so free
And sit in the tree by the window at home
And sing to my mother that I no more will roam
And sing to my mother that I no more will roam
If I were a home tonight, I would not cry
I’d do all the chores without being asked
I’d chew very slowly so I wouldn’t eat fast
I’d chew very slowly so I wouldn’t eat fast
If I were a bird tonight, I’d fly away home
And sleep in my bed with the moon on my face
And dream through the night at peace in God’s grace
And dream through the night at peace…
