about

This song was written on St. Patrick's Day, and details the story of a closet songwriter who writes lyrics for a bird. The bird comes back to show its gratitude and takes her off for a flight, to which it shares her music with the world.

lyrics

And the last thing she wrote on her mind,
Became the very last words of her lyrics,
And she wrote a song not to be heard,
But by the bird,
But by the bird.

And just when she thought she was alone,
There came a knock from the outside,
And before she could utter a word,
There was a bird,
There was a bird.

And the first thing she said on her flight,
“I’ve never been this close to the stars!”
She never thought she’d stray from the herd,
She thanked the bird,
She thanked the bird,
She thanked the bird.
