My bird flies home from afar
 Brings the joy of spring to me
 O'er the oceans endless blue
 He never fails
 His path is clear and true
 Perched upon a branch of green
 He rests his legs from the long journey
 Forms my heart with wondrous song
 I listen close
 He tells of battles won
 From my heart
 I thank you friend for these precious melody
 For these sweet and pure tones
 Sweet and pure tone
 And the autumn comes again
 I ask you from my heart, my friend
 That you'd have me sing your song
 Oh summer guest
 I'll miss you while your gone
 From my heart I thank you friend
 For these precious melody
 For these sweet and pure tones
 Sweet and pure tones
 You made a shelter for my soul
 If your language I could speak
 I would weave a song for you of my own
