  • Circles in the sky
    White as paper fly
    Sound of seagulls crying fills the air
    High above the lonely one is there
    Jonathan he cares
    To feel better
    Like the passing wind
    Swooping down again
    Waitin' for the sun to turn to night
    Find him miles away in endless flight
    Longing to be free
    Telling you and me

    Give me wings to fly
    Tell me why, tell me why
    The answer must be heard
    And from a lonely bird
    He's giving us a reason to believe

    See the painted silver sunlight on his wing
    As he sails upon the wind and slowly skyward
    Flying as to music you can hear him sing
    Like the windsong on the breeze he seems to sigh

    Give me wings to fly
    Tell me why, tell me why
    The answer must be heard
    And from a lonely bird
    He's showing us the way we can be free Publisher: MUSIC ADMIN, INC.
