Silver Bird

[Verse 1]

One morning as I walked, I gazed out across my land

Lying there all still, lying there all quiet in the sand

A big silver bird had planted itself into the ground

And being the kind of person who isn't very easily alarmed

Decided to take a walk to see just what I could find

[Chorus]

Walked around the walls, tapping to find me a door

Knocking on the windows to see if I could find out more, oh

Big silver bird, let me inside your plane

Want to fly so high, you fly me high away

[Verse 2]

All of a sudden, the door slid back and someone was there

A strange kind of being spoke to me in my tongue

"Step inside, we'll take you away in our plane

We'll leave this earth, you never even will complain"

[Chorus]

Stepping inside, I fixed myself into a seat

Holding on, Lord, I heard them engines start to beat

Big silver bird, let me inside your plane

Want to fly so high, fly me high away, yeah
