I can understand
 
 The rain that falls
 
 Waves that crash upon the shore
 
 And I know that everyone
 
 Must have freedom today
 
 And baby in my dreams I see
 
 I see you walking away
 
  
  I can understand the moon and stars
 
 (understand moon and stars)
 
 Wonders of this world of ours
 
 (wondrous world of ours)
 
 And I see the fire of life
 
 Burning brighter each day
 
 And baby in my dreams I see
 
 I see you walking away
 
 (walking away)
 
 So far away
 
 (so far away) 
 
 I see you walking away
 
 (walking away)
  
 
 So fly, my silverbird
 
 (fly silverbird)
 
 You know that I
 
 Am waiting for you
 
 And everywhere you go
 
 I'm with you still (fly silverbird)
 
 I know you will
 
 Return someday
 
 And through the rain and the snow
 
 (and the snow)
 
 When there's nowhere left to go
 
 I hope you'll stay
 
 Oh darling, now I understand
 
 And I'm home to stay
  
 
 When I close my eyes, I see you there
 
 (close my eyes, see you there)
 
 In everyone and everywhere
 
 (everyone, everywhere)
 
 And I feel the power of love
 
 Like an ocean today
 
 And baby in my dreams I see
 
 I see you walking away
 
 (walking away)
 
 So far away
 
 (so far away)
 
 I see you walking away
 
 (walking away)
  
 
 So fly, my silverbird
 
 (fly silverbird)
 
 You know that I
 
 Am waiting for you
 
 And everywhere you go
 
 I'm with you still (fly
 
 silverbird)
 
 I know you will 
 
 Return someday
 
 And through the rain and the snow 
 
 (and the snow)
 
 When there's nowhere left to go
 
 I hope you'll stay
 
 Oh darling, now I understand
 
 And I'm home to stay
  
 
 So fly, my silverbird 
 
 (fly silverbird)
 
 You know that I
 
 Am waiting for you
 
 And everywhere you go
 
 I'm with you still
 
 (fly silverbird)
 
 I know you will
 
 Return someday
 
 And through the rain and the snow 
 
 (and the snow)
 
 When there's nowhere left to go
 
 I hope you'll stay
 
 Oh darling, now I understand
 
 And I'm home to stay
  
 
 And through the rain and the snow
 
 (and the snow)
 
 When there's nowhere left to go
 
 I hope you'll stay
 
 Oh darling, now I understand
 
 And I'm home to stay
  
 
 (oh, oh, oh my silverbird, come on home to stay)
