Inspired by Pelicans over the Pacific

Four Birds

There's a million stars in the milky way

Way up high.

And a thousand more reflected

With the moon in your eyes

And a hundred days ahead

With the sun shining bright

50,000 after that

I'll be by your side

 

Four birds flying

In the sky

Three candles burning

In a window in the night

Two of us together

The world on either side

One person

You and I

 

The sunshine on the beach

Lights up a billion grains of sand

In a perfect line above the shore

You see four pelicans

They combine the sea and sky

Like the folding of two hands

Where the wind turns into water

And the waves come rolling in

 

Four birds flying

In the sky

Three candles burning

In a window in the night

Two of us together

The world on either side

One person

You and I

 

A million stars in the milky way

And a billion grains of sand

Total up to nothing

I can add em on one hand

Add 50,000 days ahead

And this I know is true

One is the answer

I'm counting on you

A million stars in the milky way

And a billion grains of sand

One is the answer

Like the folding of two hands

I just can't calculate it all

But this I know is true

One is the answer

I'm counting on you

I just can't calculate it all

But this I know is true

One is the answer

I'm counting on you
