  • When the sun shines on the mountains
    And the night is on the run
    It's a new day, it's a new way
    And I fly up to the sun

    I can feel the morning sunlight
    I can smell the new-born hay
    I can hear God's voices calling
    From my golden sky-light way

    Una paloma blanca
    I'm just a bird in the sky
    Una paloma blanca
    Over the mountain I fly
    No one can take my freedom away

    Once I had my share of losing
    Once they locked me on a chain
    Yes, they tried to break my power
    Oh, I still can feel the pain

    Una paloma blanca
    I'm just a bird in the sky
    Una paloma blanca
    Over the mountain I fly
    'Cause mo one can take my freedom away
    Yes, no one can take my freedom away

    When the sun shines on the mountains
    And the night is on the run
    It's a new day, it's a new way
    And I fly up to the sun

    Una paloma blanca
    I'm just a bird in the sky
    Una paloma blanca
    Over the mountain I fly
    No one can take my freedom away

  • Mike from Santa Barbara, CaThis is one of the most endearing songs of the mid-1970's. Helping are the excellent vocals of Nelleke Brzoskowsky, who joined the group shortly before this single was released.
