A Bird of Passage

Lyrics

[VILLAGER] Lord of the heart Look down upon our earthly pilgrimage Look down upon us where we walk From bright dawn to old age Give light not shed by any sun [ENSEMBLE] Lord of the heart! [VILLAGER] Not read on any page [ENSEMBLE] Lord of the heart! A bird of passage out of night Flies in at a lighted door Flies through and on in its darkened flight And then is seen no more This is the life of men on earth Out of darkness we come at birth Into a lamplit room and then Go forward into dark again Go forward into dark again
