lyrics

The Crow and the Kestrel

The birds in the sky soar through the air
With melodies and noise,
The very nature of joy
Magic and free, nesting in the trees
Witnessing the dance,
Are the flowers and the plants

The Redbreasted Robin arrives in the Spring,
Slender and strong, pulling worms
From the lawn
Starlings and Sparrows
look down on our yard
Silhouette and shine on the telephone line

The Toco Toucan, cartoon-like and grand
And the African Grey
Learning everything you say
Slow-motion view of the hummingbird’s wings
Exotic and fine, roosting in the pines

The birds in the sky soar through the air
With melodies and noise,
The very nature of joy
The Crow and the Kestral out in the sun
From the Military Macaw
To the Laughing Kukaburra

As one
