I've watched birds build homes
They pick a spot and bring back sticks and stones
All these sticks and stones
I've watched birds learn how to fly
They pick a branch and then they dive
Oh, I've seen them dive
I've watched birds make friends
They write a song and sing until day's end
Oh, until day's end
I've watched birds take unpaid leave
They chart a path and form a V
Oh, I've seen the V
I've watched birds get clean
They roll in dirt and sand and primp and preen
I've watched birds find peace and calm
They pick a spot and write their songs
Oh, I've heard their songs
I came out of my cocoon
I saw I was in a tree
I looked up and saw a bird
Then I saw a bird eat me
