Blue Heron by Kenneth Langer — Lyrics
Above silvery waters, swift shadows on the shore,
Along green mountain summits, fly free forever more!
You drift above the treetops, above you see much more,
Spread your wings across the sunshine, oh soar blue heron, soar!

About Blue Heron
Kenneth Langer's Blue Heron is a secular anthem for male voices (TB). The text offers a poignant reflection on self-acceptance and growth, using the image of the soaring blue heron as a metaphor for aspiring towards a higher understanding and connection with the wider world. The lyrics encourage the listener to find their own path and to recognize their place within the intricate web of life. Langer's setting likely captures the expansive and introspective mood of the poetry, making it a thoughtful choice for a choir seeking music that combines evocative imagery with a message of personal development and universal connection.
