Don't Fly Too High
He was old
As he walks lonely
Through the park
To the bench
Where he would sleep on
After dark
He saw a bird high on a tree
And said, listen carefully
So your life
Will not end in misery
Don't fly too high
My little bird
'Cause if you try
You may get hurt
You will burn your wings
When you reach for the sun
Don't fly too high
My little bird
Your lonely cry won't be heard
You'll be tumbling down
To the ground
'Cause pride will have a fall
Then the little bird came flying
From the tree
And he landed lightly on the old mans knee
Just at tiny piece of bread
It was all the old man had
But he gave it to the little bird and said
Don't fly too high
My little bird
'Cause if you try
You may get hurt
You will burn your wings
When you reach for the sun
Don't fly too high
My little bird
Your lonely cry won't be heard
You'll be tumbling down
To the ground
'Cause pride will have a fall
Then one morning the old man went
To the highway
All the cars he tried to stop
Were passing by
So he could not save his friend
Who was dying in his hands
Because his broken wings would never mend again
Don't fly too high
My little bird
'Cause if you try
You may get hurt
You will burn your wings
When you reach for the sun
Don't fly too high
My little bird
Your lonely cry won't be heard
You'll be tumbling down
To the ground
'Cause pride will have a fall
