Bird, sings and chirps and pecks
in a place I cannot see.
I know in my mind, no need to check,
This little bird is me.

Bird warbles his tune
singing its song off key.
I know, it happened too soon,
This little bird is me.

Bird flutters his wings
and shows me things I should see.
I know in my heart, by the song it sings
This little bird is me.
