The bird or the game
Played on the same
Land that makes us feel
The heart of the world
In our fingertips and hearts
The albatross is lonely but not alone
Wild but soft
Albatross of the world
Or the albatross of golf
A game with the small white ball
To hear the same words
Used at the break of dawn
When the sun rises up
Groggy but moving along
I hear the birds call out from
Over the marsh and fly free
The albatross sets sail
Over the lily’s I see
