BIRD ON A STRING By Tom Jensen
He held a bird on a string
But it's not what you might think
It was only for her own protection
Oh how she could sing
And how she loved to soar
Oh how high she could fly
When she knew she need not
Look down anymore
He would always be there to catch her
When she fell back to earth
For in his life he had learned many lessons
But to him nothing had ever meant more
Than when this his most prized possession
Once released from her cage
He'd get to go and see all the places
That she would take him to explore
He held a bird on a string
She became to him his everything
He let her out every morning
Then each evening she'd return
Everyday she would fly higher
So then the string became longer
The song she sang became louder
As her wings grew stronger and stronger
Oh how high she could fly
When she knew she need not look down anymore
He would always be there to catch her
Whenever she fell back to earth
