Nightbirds Lyrics

A child stared to the sky
In a moonlit night without sorrow
Not a question in his mind
As the stars in the sky shined bright

And the old white bird
Still thought he knew how to fly
And reach the sky
Never meant to crack the cage
For all his life - gone by

Like a loving mother's kiss
His cheek was touched by light
And mourning brought the truth
So empty was the sky

And the old white bird
Still thought he knew how to fly
And reach the sky
Never meant to crack the cage
For all his life - gone by

Pure child what's gone wrong
Where are the nightbirds gone
Once proudly singing songs of freedom
Decay has now begun

And the old white bird
Still thought he knew how to fly
And reach the sky
Never meant to crack the cage
For all his life - gone by

And the old white bird
Still thought he knew about life
And peace of mind
Never meant to feel the air
Beneath the wings
And fly to the sun
