Just Like Birds Lyrics - 16 Horsepower

Little Johanna, girl of my prairie 

Help me fill this house with living words 

Further up and further in, let 'em fly from our lips 

Just like birds, just like birds 

All that dark woods from Pakistan 

The glory, the glory lodged inside 

Strive to enter the narrow gate child 

To the fountain that flows deep an' wide 

He will never leave you 

My much afraid 

He waits patient 

In our prayers unprayed 

Now stay close to me 

In and amongst the trees 

I'll carry your shoes child 

You run an' play beneath the eaves 

Our faith will come by the hearin' 

A whisper in the leaves 

Listen Johanna, hear his voice 

In the drone of the bees 

He will never leave you 

My much afraid 

He waits patient 

In our prayers unprayed
