When A Seagull Cries
A lone gull flies alone on the breeze
Gliding he maneuvers the sky with ease
Matching the speed of the wind as he soars
As he drifts along the barren shores
His comrades take form together they fly
While he remains to himself in the empty sky
An outcast removed in a far off land
Swollen with pride a rebel takes stand
With the grace of an eagle his brave-heart shows
Like a bomber in flight as the bitter wind blows
Learn from this bird as he wails the squall
It’s the heart of the fearless in a lonely call
Give way to the sound of a lone solo cry
It’s delight you hear as he spirits the sky
His joy is wrapped in this note that he sends
Remember Jonathon as he braves the winds
When a seagull cries
