All rise ... In the morning ... Without a word left to say. Close your mind ... Go on living ... In the world you've created. Where's the goodness Of all your labors When you can't remember your days? Kick the dust of What it must be ... Let it be gone with the wind, yeah Let it go up in the wind! The Lord said, "Fly, bird!" And I said, "Yes, Sir!" 'Cause I believe in His song ... Now my days are flowing Just like the Fountain I remember so long, long ago. It takes a long, long time To become the master of your soul. Selah ... The Lord said, "''Lo, sir ... Would you be doing Anything special today?" Well, I said, "No, Sir ... But would you show me In your very special way?" Yeah, yeah! The Lord said, "Fly, bird!" And I said, "Yes, Sir!" 'Cause I believe in His song ... Now my days are flowing Just like the Fountain I remember so long, long ago. It takes a long, long time To become the master of your soul. Fly, bird ...Yes, Sir.
