So... More of a song type thing I am experimenting with. Being a trombone player I only read base clef, but some of my more musically inclined friends are helping me build chords. I hope you enjoy!
Fly little songbirds
Fly away
Point your wings
To the coming day
And when
Little songbirds
The sky does play
The winds will help you
Find your way
Fear not
Little sparrow
Sing your song
Voice your heart
The whole day long
Even when
A note goes wrong
Sing little sparrow
And I'll join along
Soar little swallow
Soar up high
The wind is strong
And the moon is nigh
Glide over corn
And fields of rye
Spread your wings
And you shall fly
Fly little songbirds
Fly away
Point your wings
To the coming day
And when
Little songbirds
The sky does play
The winds will help you
Find your way
Talk little finches
Chatter all night
Stories told
Of warmth and light
There is no need
For you to fright
You know it will
Be alright
Look little raven
At the world around
Though right now
You are earthbound
Someday you'll escape
This twig built mound
And explore
The skies profound
Fly little songbirds
Fly away
Point your wings
To the coming day
And when
Little songbirds
The sky does play
The winds will help you
Find your way
The mournful call
Of the winter wren
A warbler's melody
And then
The shrike's call
Will haunt the fen
And echoes of those
Never heard again
Fly little songbirds
Fly away
Point your wings
To the coming day
And when
Little songbirds
The sky does play
The winds will help you
Find your way
Fly little songbirds
Fly away
Point your wings
To the coming day
And when
Little songbirds
You fade away
Your songs in the breeze
Will forever stay
Forever your songs in the breeze
Will stay
