"The Pearl"

I once felt the thrill of a blissful ascent

To a heavenly place I will never forget

We took to the sky

Far away from this world

You reached for my hand, and said

"Come with me baby girl"

Trapped in my cage, with my eyes on the sky

Afraid of the heights

But you knew I could fly

Shattered and mute, I hid for so long

Wanting to sing...so you gave me a song

You took all the fear...from a scared little girl

You gave me the moon

To wear as a pearl.


But now I'm flying solo...living in a garden up on the hill

The night is honeysuckle fragrant

With the peculiar song of the whippoorwill

I held him in my arms for a moment but he had to go away

And I really believe, if we are meant to be

He'll return to me someday

People see me smiling and they think I'm doing fine

But sometimes I cry

When I look up

And I see a little bird fly.....when I see a little bird fly.
