From the new album, Julia Wade and Friends, Julia’s performance of “Bird Song” brings an ethereal and visionary flight of the imagination through the eyes of a bird. This little bird is spreading the news of the new young Christ child to the world beyond the town of Bethlehem. One of Julia’s favorite songs on the album, we invite you to listen and sense the kinship with all life as news spreads among all living things in this song!

This being Julia Wade’s 14th Album, we’ve long been talking about doing a Christmas Album. Julia and I think that Julia Wade And Friends – A Christmas Album is one of our best works together.
Peter Link, Composer and Producer
This is definitely an eclectic album. But then again, it’s an album for the whole family with lots of Christmas classics and new Christmas songs too. We think you will enjoy the mix of new and old, and “Bird Song” definitely brings you a wondeful new view from a bird’s eye — quite literally!
In this song we imagine a little bird watching the birth of the Christ Child from the rafters of the manger. “On this day, the Christ is born and how are we to tell the world of this great news?” wonder the wise men. “No internet, no postal service, not even a Pony Express.” One “cheep” from the bird draws their attention to the rafters. And their problem is solved!
Lyrics
Bird SongMusic and Lyrics by Peter Link
Silver bird fly
Spiritual bird sing
Bird song
The Christ is born
Spread the word
Let fly
The song of peace
Sweet release
Sail on silver bird
Across the world
Spread the word
A new age dawns
As the silver bird streaks
Across the red sun
Across the rising sun
Sail on silver bird
Across the world
Sail on little bird
And take this message
That the son of God
Has joined us on this earth
And brings us nothing but the good word
It’s the word of God
He brings to all
It’s a kind of peace
That lasts forever
It’s a love that radiates
From one to one another
Never fading away
Sail and sing your song, Bird
As you soar among the mountains
As you wind along the rivers of life
Sing it to each heart
Sing into the mind of mankind
Silver bird fly
From this stable
Humble
Where Christ is born
Spread the word
Go forth
His Kingdom come
A pendulum
Back and forth between
The prophesy
And the unforeseen
The time has come
A new age dawns
And the world will now change
From one of sorrow
To one abounding hope
Sail on silver bird
Across the world
Sail on little bird
And take this message
That the son of God
Has joined us on this earth
And brings us nothing but the good word
Sail and sing your song, Bird
As you wing your way through cities
Through the masses and the chaos of life
Sing it to each soul
Sing it to the shambles of man
Silver bird fly
Unto the people
Tell them
The Christ is born
Silver bird fly
And sing your song
The Christ is born
This Christmas morn
The Christ is born
This Christmas morn
The Christ is born
This Christmas morn
The Christ is born
