Splendid Thing

Splendid Thing

You rise and face the day
It’s like a riddle beginning
‘Been hard to find your way
While the earth is spinning
I see the wheels a’ turnin’
Sun-up ‘til moonrise
I see that look in your eyes

(Chorus)
Oh, I know this ol’ world is wide
On the wing, fly and bring back home
what’s inside
Oh, sweet and splendid thing
If you listen, child, you can
hear the wild bird sing

You go runnin' 'round
Tryin' to find a livin'
Cold rain comin' down
Hard and unforgivin'
Still, in your heart, you're hopin'
That you will find
All of the pictures in your mind

(Chorus)

Little bird won't go wrong
Flies straight and true
'Never hear a sweeter song
Than the one it sings for you
You’ll know every word
When it calls your name
And you will never be the same

(Chorus)

If you listen, child, you can
hear the wild bird sing
