(Tom Slocum)

Gliding bird gliding through the sky

I'm wondering why I can't be why I can't be as free

Gliding bird gliding all day long

Sing your secret song away from all these faces that I see

Is where I want to be



My feet are so tired

They walked too many miles

If I run so wild like heaven's child

I'll learn to fly someday



Gliding bird riding in the sun

Rainbow colors run

I hear the wind

I hear its mournful call



Gliding bird high above the sea

Is it longing to be free

Your voice is silent

But your wings tell all
