Verse 1:
You probably come from Canada
Where the cold wind chased you down
Is that a touch of snow upon your wings
Are you headed southward bound
Move quickly wild bird
The hunter comes from town
He longs to see you on his wall
You match his mantelpiece in brown
Faster wild bird
The sun is sinking down
Id love to ride your noble wings
I would utter not a sound
Chorus 1:
There must be some kind of blue sky somewhere
God made especially for you
Children of the wild winds
Go there now
Take whats left of living for you
Verse 2 same chords:
You probably come from Asia
Where the seas are deep and clear
When you rise to break the rolling waves
Your body glistens like a mirror
Faster great blue one
Its the fisherman I hear
Theres a pretty price upon your head
Theyre paying well for you this year
Faster great blue one
Your darkest storm is near
Id love to ride your great blue tail
All your secrets Id hold dear
Chorus 2:
There must be some kind of blue sea somewhere
God made especially for you
Children of the wild waves
Go there now
Take whats left of living for you
Verse 3:
You probably come from Idaho
Where the cool air treats you right
Where you roam the sauntered mountains
In your savage delight
Move quickly brave bear
The builder scales your heights
Your home to hims worth millions now
So theres nothing he wont try
Faster brave bear
The moon is losing light
Id love to run the trail with you
Scream your courage through the night
Chorus 3:
There must be some kind of mountain somewhere
God made especially for you
Children of the wild lands
Go there now
Take whats left of living for you
Chorus 4:
There must be some kind of new world somewhere
God made especially for you
Children of the wild world
Go there now
Take whats left of living for you
