Arise My Songbird Lyrics

Have you heard

'Bout the little songbird

As she grew bound

By the cage within

All, all her hopes and dreams

Bottled up inside

Never to escape

Nor ever take flight

But the melodies she tried to hide

Gave her wings and said,

Don't you listen to them, sing

Try to lift your voice

Open up and sing

Let the sound of heavenly

Turtledove's ring

Then the voices

They'd come back, again

And though she tried

Freedom she did not win

Broken were her heart and song

But this was not the end

She looked heavenwards

And found, her friend

He said, now the winter's past

See the rain has gone

The clouds have all moved on

Flowers now appear

Time for singing's come

Come arise my songbird

Beautiful one

The Father's love

Entered in, set her free

So can you hear this

Turtle dove's new song

She'll nev' never be bound again

This I know for sure

For she is always loved

And she can rise above

So can you hear this little songbird

Lift her voice and sing

The Father's love

Entered in, set her free

So can you hear this

Turtle dove's new song

She'll nev' never be bound again

This I know for sure

For she is always loved

And she can rise above

So can you hear this little songbird

Lift her voice and sing

For he said, now the winter's past

See the rain has gone

The clouds have all moved on

Flowers now appear

Time for singing's come

Come arise my songbird

Beautiful one
