Oh how I wish I were a bird
Who mimicked every song he’d heard
It would be such great fun to do
A gift of joy between we two.
We’d sing our tunes each morn to night
From early mass until midnight
These pleasures add to daily life
Though riddled by anger and strife.
Now if our melodies are sweet
Perhaps this anger we’ll defeat
And seek a reason to believe
Our peace with God, we shall achieve !
