Never Catch Me

And I Can Sing

Why is it that I've never seen a Bluebird

Streaking down the sapphire sky?

All the birds around

Are either red or brown

No blinding Bluebirds to be found

Why is it that I've never seen a Bluebird

A hope a joy a start?

A start of spring

An end of spring

Come to only to hear a Bluebird sing

Why is it that I've never seen a Bluebird

Who's been o'er the rainbow and beyond?

A bird who's flown to Oz and Wonderland

And back again

All to see life from where I stand

Why is it that I've never seen a Bluebird

An ambassador of death?

Who will sing with me through my final song

Tell me it won't be long

Until I can prove a Bluebird wrong.
