Little Bird of Heaven Lyrics

I let out from your back door
Kicked an old can fifty miles or more
Written right there on the side of the can
"There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand"

I looked up and I looked back
Walked a hundred miles on the railroad track
Alls I can tell from where I stand
There's a little bird of heaven right here in my hand

Well love they tell me is a fragile thing
Its hard to fly on broken wings
I lost my ticket to the promised land
Little bird of heaven right here in my hand

So toss it up or pa*s it round
Pay no mind to what you're carryin' round
Or keep it close, hold it while you can
There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand

Fallen hearts and fallen leaves
Starlings light on the broken trees
I find we all need a place to land
There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand
