Birds And Children Fly Away 歌詞

I stood with mom and poppa as the bus pulled in that day To take me from my childhood to a man I believe it was the first time i saw either of them cry As momma held on tight to daddy’s hand Momma handed me a sandwich and some money she had saved And whispered that she knew i’d be a good man She gently smiled and told me that momma’s always know The only way to come back is to go And birds and children fly away like clouds on a windy day And there’s usually a rainbow after the rain Birds and children fly away that’s the master’s plan you know Children are god’s gift to make love grow And i can still hear poppa say Don’t cry momma birds and children fly away A thousand thoughts flashed through me as i watched them wave goodbye How they taught me to fish and love and pray I gave the man my ticket heard poppa gently say Don’t cry momma cause birds and children they just fly away
