Standard (EADGBE)

  On and on they journey southward, to the land of warmer summers

  On the way they shed their feathers

  For the poet's hand to write love letters

  Flying high in straight formation, seeking out their destination

  Over seas and windswept forests, frost and snow they're soon forgotten

  Trees are bare snowflakes are falling

  You can hear their leaders calling

  Follow me fly strong my brother, be strong of heart

  And help each other home

  And here I am, I'm just a man, and there you are among the stars

  Flying high searching for a new tomorrow, I wish I could follow

  Nearer still to new horizons, chill winds blow so far behind them

  Endless days and sleepless nights, a borrowed gift navigates their flight

  Still and pure this morning air, so tired now but almost there

  The mysteries of nature's calling

  Some will climb while others return back home
