[Verse 1]
See that red bird up on the wire?
Well he don't wonder why
He's got everything at the tip of his wing
And always he's gotta do is fly

[Chorus]
'Cause out front is the wild horizon
What's behind him has all gone by
There's a whole new day arisin'
Up ahead he's got nothin' but sky

[Verse 2]
There are cornfields close to the river
And the rivers run clear and cold
He finds all he needs in between the trees
No matter which way he goes

[Chorus]
'Cause out front is the wild horizon
What's behind him has all gone by
Thеre's a whole new day arisin'
Up ahеad he's got nothin' but sky

[Verse 3]
When we wake up Monday mornin'
Well we'd all better spread our wings
We've got a lot to learn from that old red bird
Who appreciates everything
[Chorus]
'Cause out front is the wild horizon
What's behind him has all gone by
There's a whole new day arisin'
Up ahead he's got nothin' but sky
Sky
Nothin' but sky
