Just Like Birds

Little Johanna, girl of my prairie
Help me fill this house with living words
Further up and further in, let 'em fly from our lips
Just like birds, just like birdsAll that dark woods from Pakistan
The glory, the glory lodged inside
Strive to enter the narrow gate child
To the fountain that flows deep an' wideHe will never leave you
My much afraid
He waits patient
In our prayers unprayedNow stay close to me
In and amongst the trees
I'll carry your shoes child
You run an' play beneath the eavesOur faith will come by the hearin'
A whisper in the leaves
Listen Johanna, hear his voice
In the drone of the beesHe will never leave you
My much afraid
He waits patient
In our prayers unprayed
