Songbird from Wonderland by Roman Rising

Come walking out through the sunshine dear
Keep smiling, the blue grass it grows high here
Just waiting for someone like you to come
And join me, step out into the sun

I have to tell you a story now
This music didn't come from me, you know how
A songbird singin' up in the trees
Sang me this melody that you hear

Songbird sang so sweetly
I felt my spirit rise in greeting
As I lay beneath the morning sun
Songbird I wish I knew why you chose my ears to hear you
And why haven't I heard you since that day

The water, source of life, can you see
Reflections of who we are meant to be
Enchanted by things that look like the truth
Distracted and wasted away our youth

Between the sea and the endless sky
Is music that comes to me by and by
Oh songbird singin' up in the trees
Release me, your song has flown with the breeze

Songbird won't you hear me
You sang your song now you won't come near me
As I lift my voice to sing the tune
Songbird why'd you leave me
You filled my cup but you took my feelings
Won't you come and set my spirit free?
