Black bird, I see thee,

Soaring ‘round the sky,

Flying o’er this ancient earth,

Bringing my soul to fly.

-

Black bird, I hear thee,

Calling to mine ear,

Crying for my heart to dance,

I can’t help but go near.

-

Black bird, I feel thee,

Freedom in your flight,

Grace captured within your wings,

One of ebony night.
