I Saw Birds Flocking

I looked into the future
So bright the crystal ball
I met my face in a different place than I ever thought to crawl
There was a meal upon the table
And an angel in the hall
And I Saw Birds Flocking

The house was full of sunlight
The kids came out to play
There were mission bells and the city smells were a million miles away
I was laying by a wagon
You were painting up the day
And I Saw Birds Flocking

There was music to the afternoon
But it wasn't written out
I saw a thousand notes - they pearled the sky
And sung my little world around
Catch me on a cloud!

The king is in the castle
The moon is on the rise
The day's all done and my little one sends a look into my eyes
And I knew the great adventure bent a funny kind of prize
And I Saw Birds Flocking
