Michael Martin Murphey Children Of The Wild World
You probably come from Canada the cold winds chased you down
Is that a touch of snow upon your wing are you headed southward bound
Move quickly wild bird the hunter comes from town
He longs to see you on his wall you match his mantlepiece of brown
Faster wild bird your sun is sinking down
I'd love to ride your noble wings I would utter not a sound
There must be some kind of blue sky somewhere
God made especially for you
Children of the wild wings go there now
And take what's left of living for you
You probably come from Asia where the sears are deep and clear
When you rise to break the rolling waves your body glistens like a mirror
Move faster great blue one it's the fisherman I hear
And there's a pretty price upon your head they're paying well for you this year
Faster great blue one your darkest storm is near
I'd love to ride your great blue tail all your secrets I'd hold dear
There must be some kind of blue sea somewhere...
You probably come from Idaho where the cool air treats you right
Where you roam the Sages Mountains in your savage delight
Move quickly brave bear the builder scales your heights
And your home to him's worth millions now so there's nothing he won't fight
Faster brave bear your moon is losing light
I'd love to run the trail with you scream your courage through the hignt
There must be some kind of mountain somewhere...
There must be some kind of new world somewhere...
Children of the wild wings go there now
And take what's left of living for you
