Carol of the Birds
by Mannheim Steamroller

Album: Christmas Symphony

Whence comes this rush of wings afar
Following straight the No l star
Birds from the woods, in wondrous flight
Bethlehem seek this Holy Night

"Tell us, ye birds, why come ye here
Into this stable, poor and drear?"
"Hast'ning, we seek the new-born King
And all our sweetest music bring."

Hark! how the greenfinch bears his part
Philomel, too, with tender heart
Chants from her leafy dark retreat
Re, mi, fa, sol, in accents sweet

Angels and shepherds, birds of the sky
Come where the Son of God doth lie;
Christ on earth with man doth dwell
Join in the shout, "No l, No l!"
