Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
The lines are joined
The living is to the living
The lines are joined
The dead are to the dead
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
A treasured home can be revisited
A treasured person may never return
A treasured home can be revisited
A treasured person may never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
The Spirit will return in peace
The Spirit will return in love
The Spirit will return in joy
The Spirit will return
So that we may sense them
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
Fly oh bird who will never return
who will never return
