D(add E) / / / / / / /
D
On and on they journey southward, to the land of warmer summers
Em
On the way they shed their feathers
G A
For the poet's hand to write love letters
D
Flying high in straight formation, seeking out their destination
Em G A
Over seas and windswept forests, frost and snow they're soon forgotten
D
Trees are bare snowflakes are falling
D
You can hear their leaders calling
Em G
Follow me fly strong my brother, be strong of heart
A D
And help each other home
Dm7
And here I am, I'm just a man, and there you are among the stars
G A
Flying high searching for a new tomorrow, I wish I could follow
D
Nearer still to new horizons, chill winds blow so far behind them
Em G A
Endless days and sleepless nights, a borrowed gift navigates their flight
D
Still and pure this morning air, so tired now but almost there
Em
The mysteries of nature's calling
G A D
Some will climb while others return back home
