Verse 1

At dawn the little birds call out her name

The nest is cold, the branches look the same

Six days have passed beneath a watchful sky

They search the fields and ask the clouds why

Pre-Chorus

Where did you go, beyond the cedar trees?

Your smallest chick still listens for your wings

Chorus

Mother, come home, we’re calling through the storm

The nest is empty, nothing feels like home

Six days without you, hearts against the cold

We’ll keep on searching till your wings unfold

Verse 2

A stranger’s shadow crossed the meadow grass

They saw you taken as the daylight passed

The little ones have not forgotten you
