D On and on they journey southward, to the land of warmer summers
Em On the way they shed their feathers
GA For the poet's hand to write love letters
D Flying high in straight formation, seeking out their destination
EmGA Over seas and windswept forests, frost and snow they're soon forgotten
D Trees are bare snowflakes are falling
D You can hear their leaders calling
EmG Follow me fly strong my brother, be strong of heart
AD And help each other home
Dm7 And here I am, I'm just a man, and there you are among the stars
GA Flying high searching for a new tomorrow, I wish I could follow
D Nearer still to new horizons, chill winds blow so far behind them
EmGA Endless days and sleepless nights, a borrowed gift navigates their flight
D Still and pure this morning air, so tired now but almost there
Em The mysteries of nature's calling
GAD Some will climb while others return back home
