lyrics

The Lark and the Owl
David Tiller (BMI)
The Lark calls up the morning sun
She gives up her dreaming to get the days work done
She was born to be
Exactly who you see
Don't change anything for me
The owl hoots in the shadows of the moon
He keeps to his dreams though the morning comes to
soon
He was born to be
Sitting in the tree
Don't change anything thing for me
the crane dreams of rain both day and night
Till the flooding pushes the trees down and the owl and
lark takes flight.
The river was born to be
exactly what you see
Don't change anything for me
Now some birds can build a new nest
And some birds cry for the children that didn't stand the
test
Now they were born to be
From that fallen tree
Don't change anything for me

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
