"Cuckoo" lyrics

Cuckoo, far from your home
Strange is your song to the tree where you've flown
Counting the stars in an unfamiliar sky
Cuckoo, do you wonder why?

Cuckoo, I've seen you hide
Safe from the ways of the world there outside
Is there a hope that you'll never, never show?
Cuckoo, with you it will grow

Cuckoo, did you know
The earth's far below you now
But the air is wide and waiting?
Cuckoo, did you know
You carry your home in your wings?
In the darkness of sorrow, you'll sing

Cuckoo, don't you stay still
Put air under your wings or someone else will
Truth's in the song you sing plainly by night
All while you stay out of sight

Cuckoo, why is it that you
Freeze before the fall with a feather too few?
Open your eyes day by day by day by day
Cuckoo, to leap is life's way
Cuckoo, to leap is life's way
Cuckoo, to leap is life's way
Cuckoo, to leap is life's way
