A Song for Michael Lyrics by Vera Johnson

Bald Eagle

0

This is a song for Michael
Now that you're nearly three
You're too young to get the message
But you'll grow older and you'll see
The reason I say I'm sorry
That I can't do more
Wish that I could shield you from the cold and the rain
Keep you always laughing, free of sorrow and pain
Hide you deep in your nest, but I know it's in vain
Maybe you'll understand when you're four
This is a wish for Michael
May you stay warm and kind
Keep on reaching out for answers
With groping fingers of your mind
May you never finish learning
And wondering why
Why a little kitten always lands on its feet
Why the streetlights glisten in the rain on the street
Why in lands far away they have nothing to eat
And why soldiers are sent off to die
This is a hope for Michael
We'll build a world that's new
Hopes are sometimes pretty futile
But we can help them to come true
So we who still hope are trying
To let people know
We have reached the moon and left our prints in its dust
It's an age of marvels and we have to adjust
We can leap to the stars, but before that we must
Make a world where a boy can just grow
