I am a child, a child of creation Feeling just like a wandering star And like a bird who’s flying in motion Trying to see so clear, so far
Far in the sky, I feel there is dancing Far in the sky, I hear the birds sing Out in the storm, I play with the winter Shout to the winds and wait for spring
Spring that awakes with eyes full of loving Giving the world a face that is new Sending us all the rains and the flowers Showering us with love that’s true
True as the dawn that wakes up the sunshine True as the look I see in your eyes You gave to me the day of my lifetime Taught me to love, taught me to fly
Bird on the wing Sing for me, sing Take me up high Show me your sky
I am a child, a child of creation Wanting to meet the world face to face Moving the clouds and letting the light through Making the world a sunny place
Place for a song and place for a poem Light up my life the way you can do There’s so much hope that’s shining around us Hope for the child, for me and you
I am a child, a child of creation Feeling like I’m a wandering star And like a bird who’s flying in motion Trying to see so clear, so far
Bird on the wing Sing for me, sing Take me up high Show me your sky
Bird on the wing Sing for me, sing Take me up high Lend me your sky
The song is originally from MARIE MIRIAM, the French version "L'enfant et L'oiseau" (which is why there is a french lyric section later in this English version, as a nod to the original). There were many Hong Kong / Macau based singers (e.g. Chinese, Macanese (Macau Portuguese),or Filipino/a (from the Philippines), who did covers of others' songs (and many still do), and this cover is typical. @Ben Munford -- I note that your published version, here, has a GLITCH just after 2:33, where we are now MISSING a part of the song... :(
The Bird and the Child - Gracie Rivera
I am a child, a child of creation
Feeling just like a wandering star
And like a bird who’s flying in motion
Trying to see so clear, so far
Far in the sky, I feel there is dancing
Far in the sky, I hear the birds sing
Out in the storm, I play with the winter
Shout to the winds and wait for spring
Spring that awakes with eyes full of loving
Giving the world a face that is new
Sending us all the rains and the flowers
Showering us with love that’s true
True as the dawn that wakes up the sunshine
True as the look I see in your eyes
You gave to me the day of my lifetime
Taught me to love, taught me to fly
Bird on the wing
Sing for me, sing
Take me up high
Show me your sky
I am a child, a child of creation
Wanting to meet the world face to face
Moving the clouds and letting the light through
Making the world a sunny place
Place for a song and place for a poem
Light up my life the way you can do
There’s so much hope that’s shining around us
Hope for the child, for me and you
I am a child, a child of creation
Feeling like I’m a wandering star
And like a bird who’s flying in motion
Trying to see so clear, so far
Bird on the wing
Sing for me, sing
Take me up high
Show me your sky
Bird on the wing
Sing for me, sing
Take me up high
Lend me your sky

回憶起那年了!
Written in 1977 but this version I think was around 1980
Ben, Well, in the late seventies to be sure. By the way, sort of skipping groove toward the end of the cut.
Super ráda tě poslouchám mám tě moc ráda Helen Casas.
Good music doesn't grow old, another brilliant example here!
I use to have this in LP album. Those were the days. I love the whole LP album.
