tom mcfarland - the birds’ song كلمات الأغنية

tom says, the idea for this song was born from a conversation with fil’s mum who was commenting that there seemed to be very few visiting birds in her garden over the winter, a topic which was also being discussed on nature programmes at the time… his mind went a_wandering!

the blackbirds and the thrushes and the robin sat around
discussing all the changes and what’s been going down
“i’m worried said the robin, there’s rumours in the air
i’m not sure what is happening, but i know that it’s not fair

have you ever wondered wherе the other birds have gonе
there aren’t so many here these days i’m missing their sweet song
some say it is the weather, some say it is the wind
but i think other forces are not letting them come in

chorus
we may have different feathers and sing a different song
but when we sing together the differences are gone

if you look up in the sky high up above your head
all along the borders something’s being said
all the crows and magpies of the neighbourhood
are saying “we don’t want you here taking all our food’

they’re living in the hedges and roosting in the trees
building mud huts on the walls and nesting in the eves
they’re stealing all our berries and eating all our bugs
we don’t want foreign lads here, they’re all a bunch of thugs”
chorus
we may have different feathers and sing a different song
but when we sing together the differences are gone

geese that come from canada are told they can’t come round
eating all the grasses and messing up the ground
all the swifts and swallows are not allowed to stay
even all the starlings have been told t go away

but i for one like to hear their exotic cry
they sing another language as they’re flying by
i think for all our children’s sake it really would be sad
if they didn’t see that different really isn’t bad”

chorus
we may have different feathers and sing a different song
but when we sing together the differences are gone

now the blackbirds and the thrushes and the robin all agreed
they’d have to teach the others that there’s no need for greed
for birds they don’t see borders as they fly o’er the sea
to find a place to feed their kids, just like you and me
