Feed the Birds

EARLY EACH DAY TO THE STEPS OF ST. PAUL
A LITTLE OLD BIRD WOMAN COMES
IN HER OWN SPECIAL WAY TO THE PEOPLE SHE CRIES
COME AND BUY MY BAGS FULL OF CRUMBS
COME FEED THE LITTLE BIRDS SHOW THEM YOU CARE
AND YOU’LL BE GLAD IF YOU DO
THEIR YOUNG ONES ARE HUNGRY
THEIR NESTS ARE SO BARE
ALL IT TAKES IS TUPPENCE FROM YOU
FEED THE BIRDS, TUPPENCE A BAG,
TUPPENCE, TUPPENCE, TUPPENCE A BAG.
"FEED THE BIRDS," THAT'S WHAT SHE CRIES,
WHILE OVERHEAD, HER BIRDS FILL THE SKIES.
ALL AROUND THE CATHEDRAL THE SAINTS AND APOSTLES
LOOK DOWN AS SHE SELLS HER WARES.
ALTHOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE THEM, YOU KNOW THEY ARE SMILING
EACH TIME SOMEONE SHOWS THAT HE CARES.
THOUGH HER WORDS ARE SIMPLE AND FEW,
LISTEN, LISTEN, SHE'S CALLING TO YOU:
"FEED THE BIRDS, TUPPENCE A BAG,
TUPPENCE, TUPPENCE, TUPPENCE A BAG." |
