Birds Will Be Birds by Kenneth Langer — Lyrics
There is a bird upon a high wire.
It sits so strong and proud, above the city crowd.
There is a bird upon a high wire.
It’s a pretty little one just sitting in the sun.
What does it ponder alone on that wire?

About Birds Will Be Birds
Kenneth Langer's Birds Will Be Birds offers a delightful exploration of nature's unexpected inconveniences. The SA TB choir brings to life a scene where a proud bird perched high above the city is observed, its serene presence suddenly disrupted by a rather messy, earthbound reality. The text humorously contrasts lofty contemplation with the mundane, as the bird's lofty perch becomes the site of an unexpected indignity. This secular anthem captures a moment of gentle amusement and relatable frustration, painting a vivid, lighthearted picture of urban wildlife interactions.
