A baby bird
Born a turquoise blue
She is loved
A family strong and true

Mama bird
Dad and Grandma too
Helped her learn
What she can dream to do

So watch me now
I get on my knees and pray
Why must you
Fly away, fly away

Years have passed
She is older, wiser too
She looks out
For dear old Grandma Blue

The wind blows soft
A whisper and she knew
Life is lost
There is nothing she could do

So watch me now
I wish you could have stayed
Why did you
Fly away, fly away

So watch me now
This is what I have to say
I love you
Fly away, fly away

I love you grandma
