And Still The Bird Sings

The storms continue to rage on
The mountains may tumble and fall
The rivers may rise forever more
And still the bird sings

Its nest may be taken in the night
Its eggs stolen when it is not there
It may be wounded when it flies
And still the bird sings

Fires consume all the earth
The oceans dry up and never return
People turn against their own brother
And still the bird sings

Through all the trials and the tribulations
Through the summer rains and the winter chills
Through all the good times and the bad
Still the bird will sing
