| Two men sit and talk their life stories they’re |
| Grown men sitting under beds weeping like |
| Children one that can’t even believe a word anybody tells them |
| That man |
| Turns to his friend in desperation |
| Explain what you see right from your window pane |
| Alright says his friend at fifteen years strong |
| Cause he knows that man will never walk again |
| I see blue birds you know what they are right |
| Well they flying outside |
| I see sunshine from afar |
| Hiding the rain that’s in your heart |
| I see love in the mothers eyes |
| Children playing outside |
| Sister |
| It wont be long |
| It wont be long my friend, |
| My friend, my friend 2x |
| Oh yeah it wont be long |
| Two years past just in the same religion |
| Five minutes of a day lit a spark in that mans eyes |
| Ought to hear the joy coming from him is different |
| Soon found his time was justified |
| But one morning the nurse who came to dress that painter |
| Found nothing but the colours of his heart and mind |
| Spread lay down across the bed in which came accustomed |
| He passed on in the night |
| Chorus |
| All alone |
| Moving to his old friends bedside |
| He asked to see the view of which he spoke |
| All he sees is a wall made of brick |
| And all this time |
| He didn’t know his friend was blind |
| So dear friend, wherever you may be up high |
| I thank you for the joy you give to me all the time |
| Someday soon I’ll meet you on the other side |
| And just a week |
| That man had closed his eyes |
| They see blue birds they know what they are now |
| Sure they’re flying outside |
| They see sunshine from afar |
| Showing the love within their hearts |
| They see love in the mothers eyes |
| Children playing outside |
| They know now |
| They’ve arrived |
| It wont be long |
| It wont be long my friend, |
| My friend, my friend 2x |
| Oh yeah it wont be long |
| I know |
| You’re looking down on me now |
