vox clamantis in deserto

Redbird

lyrics by harlan blynn

Redbird, redbird up so high,

You and I touch the sky

Redbird, I wish I knew your name

When I saw you from the plane

Wings so open and so wide

In your shadow I could hide

When I feel so left out

On the playground they jump and shout

Redbird, redbird up above

Mom and dad are full of love

Redbird, to me will you sing

About a jester and her queen

You and I are best friends

A special bond that never ends

When you fly through air and space

It brings a smile to my face

Redbird, redbird in the tree

Cozied with your family

Redbird, to you I say goodnight

I hope you sleep snug and tight

Tonight we dream of endless fun

And thank the big bright yellow sun

The purple mountains and a breeze

Make me feel so at ease
