Verse 1
Little girl, little girl with the big round eyes
Little bird, little bird, one day you’ll fly
A breathtaking flight of life you’ll fly
Then little bird, little bird, you will die
Chorus
Because life, life is a vapor
But the brevity is what makes it a treasure
So feel it all like a love letter
To the One you will live with forever
His eye is on the sparrow
His eye is on you
Verse 2
What then, what then when it’s all over?
Little bones, little bones the dust will cover
Little spirit, little spirit you’ll live on
With the soul of the bird that goes on and on
Then little bones, little bones
You will rise and little, little girl
You will fly
Fly

Behind the Song:
"This started out as a poem from my perspective now to myself as a little girl, basically wondering “if I could talk to myself as a little girl, what would I say?” Throughout the song, I talk about the frailty of life, but also the fact that the spirit lives on and our body will rise from the dead someday. It’s a song about resurrection and the fact that this life is not the end. It’s important, especially because it’s so short, but it’s not the end and I just went for that concept. It also takes a very fun musical approach with the xylophone and marimba." - Misty
