a few feet high - The Fish and The Bird

A fish met a bird one day
While swimming close to shore
With beautiful eyes
Unlike any he'd seen before

The bird liked the fish
And they'd talk for hours
Near the water on the sand
And one day his fin met her feather
As if to hold her hand

Swim swim swim
Give it a try
Swim swim swim
Until you can fly

The bird and the fish fell in love
Despite from where they came
They were happy when together
Cause swimming and flying
Are basically the same

Swim swim swim
Give it a try
Swim swim swim
Until you can fly
Swim swim swim
Give it a try
Swim swim swim
Until you can fly

But one day the bird
With a tear in her eye
Came to her fish
And said with a sigh
A fish and a bird may fall in love
But where will they build a home
I love you so
But if I stay with you
I will always have to fly alone

The fish was sad
He loved the bird
But he knew this was how it had to be
He also had wished
That his pretty bird
Could come swim with him in the sea

So for one last time
My fin met her feather
In a loving but difficult goodbye
She'd tried to swim
And I couldn't fly
But God bless the bird
That taught me of the sky
