I looked into the future So bright the crystal ball I met my face in a different place Than I ever thought to crawl There was a meal upon the table And an angel in the hall And I saw birds flocking The house was full of sunlight The kids came out to play There were mission bells and the city smells were a million miles away I was laying by a wagon You were painting up the day And I saw birds flocking There was music to the afternoon But it wasn't written out I saw a thousand notes They pearled the sky And sung my little world around Catch me on a cloud ♪ The king is in the castle The moon is on the rise The day's all done and my little one sends a look into my eyes And I knew the great adventure bent a funny kind of prize And I saw birds flocking I saw birds flocking I saw birds flocking I saw birds flocking I saw birds flocking I saw birds flocking
