They tell us "Autumn's a comin' and soon everything around us will die

Only a fool believes that he is different from the birds in the sky

All those birds go chasin' some better sunny days

You can't hear them singing 'cause they've all gone away"

But this one bird didn't leave you

It stayed through the wintertime

You can't hear it sing but you can hear it as it flies

So don't you believe them?

They'll destroy you with their lies

They only see the obvious

They see the sun go down but they don't see it rise

This one bird didn't leave you

You can hear it as it flies

It's not very loud but you can hear it if you try

So don't you believe them?

Yes it's true someday everything dies

We won't let that defeat us

We can't hear them singing

But we can hear it as it flies
