I followed a bird to the sea shore And I saw more in considered flight They took to the sky in a sequence Like imprints of my toes in sand They turned all as one And showed me how I can dream Tread softly I heard as they circled And go slowly, keep your hopes alight And look to the brink of a sea change And be certain as you take our hand I moved with the sound Of waves all around in step with the moon All hope came ablaze like the thunder And wonder like northern lights I knew as they flew I could join them On adventures to unknown sights My toes in the sand And birds in my hand chasing a dream
