Listening Bird

What happens when you really listen?

There are things you hear…you never would have

If the listening bird had never sung her song

The things we do wrong

Gently told in the listening bird’s song

Pride in the hearing’s way

The maker of the listening bird

His winds blow gently away

Your heart hears the tale

Of sins, of crimes

The maker of the listening bird

Paid for with His life

Close your eyes,  still your soul

Her song will set you free

The maker of the listening bird

Has shown to me

Without her wings

Blind you will stay

Listen to her song

To heaven she will guide you all the way
