I saw a bird fly
it was i
it landed on a tree
that was me
i took flight
with strength and might
that came from above
i am that dove

I saw a bird fly
it was i
it landed on my knee
i was he
there was no time to wonder
though all the world’s a ponder 
for not a doubt was left in me
i was he

I saw a bird fly
it was i
there was gold and blue and white
starry eye
i couldn’t reflect the scene
before my eye
for it was i
for all to see

I saw a bird fly
it was i
the truth lay deep
i’d awakened from sleep
never before had I roamed
so far from my home
only to return
to me

I saw a bird fly
it was I.
