Have you ever seen the bird
Chirpin' songs and melodies unheard
Did you ever look in the skylight
And find out that
Home is much farther than we thought
Well, I got these two legs
And I think they're just fine to walk
I listen to a rock n' roll band
And I can tell you what I know
But what I found out is
There's no fountain in the hall
So the next time you hear stop
Think twice, it's probably okay to go
Paint a cloud in the sky
So we can touch
The waves of clouds comin' our way
Sing a song to the trees
So they can feel
As well as a sugar cane flower
Blow your mind
Cause' it's only due in time
Until, that passing phase
Is bound to follow your way
Sing a song to yourself when the time is right
For you, this is my advice
Last night I saw a star
Reminded me of something I once read
In a Shakespearean feel
That made me shed a tear
Who says you have to be sad to cry
Sometimes it makes sense, my darlin'
For beautiful things to die
Heard someone sayin' on the news
That the world is going bad
But my heart's been goin' that way
For awhile now
Maybe we're all catchin' up
I'll light a match to mother nature
And hope for some luck
Paint a cloud in the sky
So we can touch
The waves of clouds comin' our way
Sing a song to the trees
So they can feel
As well as a sugar cane flower
Blow your mind
Cause' it's only due in time
Until, that passing phase
Is bound to follow your way
Sing a song to yourself when the time is right
For you, this is my advice
Paint a cloud in the sky
So we can touch
The waves of clouds comin' our way
Sing a song to the trees
So they can feel
As well as a sugar cane flower
Blow your mind
Cause' it's only due in time
Until, that passing phase
Is bound to follow your way
Sing a song to yourself when the time is right
For you, this is my advice
