Lyrics
i . . .
saw a little bluebird,
flying in the sky.
as he passed by . . .
he shouted "hi"
i . . .
said "i'd come and join you" . . .
"if only i could fly !"
he said "it's easy !" . . .
"why don't you try ?"
so i . . .
flapped my arms and ran and jumped
into the sky.
and joined that bluebird . . .
up there so high.
well that bluebird's name was pete,
he said "there's someone i'd like you to meet"
"he lives upstairs on the golden seat" . . .
"with a lion and a lamb sitting at his feet" . . .
"would you like to come and meet this friend of mine ?"
i said "i'd love to come along !" . . .
"just lead the way and i'll follow on" . . .
then he smiled and flew away . . .
i followed him for half a day . . .
up and up into that blue old sky we flew.
then at last we came to rest,
pete said "hey J, i've brought me a guest !" . .
then this man was standing there . . .
with a great big smile and wavy hair,
he said "any friend of pete's is a friend of mine !"
then he took me by the hand . . .
he lead me 'round the perfect land,
from the river deep to the mountain high,
he showed me the never-ending sky . . .
and all the folks i saw would smile as they passed by.
then he asked me 'bout the place i'm from,
said "don't worry if it seems like it's all gone wrong" . . .
"'cos it's always been that way" . . .
"since the sun came up on the very first day"
"seems like the soul don't like to be too far from home".
"now fly back down with pete" . . .
"sing a song 'bout the man with the golden seat" . . .
"tell the good folks that they're not alone" . .
"let them know that they're all gonna make it home" . . .
"and that while they're there . . . lay back and enjoy the ride !"

excellent lyrics and performances. I get so fed up of all
these "bowing down" songs. Could use clearer production
but that's it.
