| [00:23.10] | Long Ago there was a bird who sang |
| [00:24.93] | but just once in her life |
| [00:27.61] | From the moment she left the nest |
| [00:29.39] | she searched the longest leaf for a thorn tree |
| [00:32.21] | never resting until she found one |
| [00:36.04] | Then she began to sing |
| [00:38.01] | more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth |
| [00:43.37] | But carry away in the rapturous honor song |
| [00:46.84] | she impaled herself on the longest, sharpest thorn |
| [00:52.68] | As she was dying |
| [00:54.94] | she rose above her own agony to |
| [00:56.00] | out-sing even the lark and the nightingale. |
| [01:00.80] | The thorn bird traded her life for that one song and |
| [01:04.33] | the whole world was captured to listen |
| [01:07.56] | And God, in His heaven smiles |
| [01:13.63] | As her very best was brought out only of the cost of great pain |
| [01:19.77] | Driven by the thorn, with no fear for her death to come |
| [01:24.72] | But when we push the thorn into our breast |
| [01:28.93] | We know… |
| [01:30.69] | We understand… |
| [01:32.68] | And still…we choose the pain of the thorn… |
