Just Like Birds

little johanna girl of my prairie
 help me fill this house with living words
 further up an' further in
 let 'em fly from our lips
 just like birds
 just like birds
 all that dark woods from pakistan
 the glory the glory lodged inside
 strive to enter the narrow gate child
 to the fountain that flows deep an' wide
 he will never leave you
 my much afraid
 he waits patient
 in our prayers unprayed
 now stay close to me
 in an' amongst the trees
 i'll carry your shoes child
 you run an' play beneath the eaves
 our faith will come by the hearin'
 a whisper in the leaves
 listen johanna hear his voice
 in the drone of the bees
 he will never leave you
 my much afraid
 he waits patient
 in our prayers unprayed
