Farewell my migrating bird
God bless and keep you
as you leave these English shores
May your flight be feather light
and may your journey
keep you safe from foreign wars
Fly on feathered wings
Warm clouds, soft winds
May you find your rest
in a safe nest
Keep your head in the sky
and you will hear
the battle pass you by
God bless and keep you
as you leave these English shores
May your flight be feather light
and may your journey
keep you safe from foreign wars
Fly on feathered wings
Warm clouds, soft winds
May you find your rest
in a safe nest
Keep your head in the sky
and you will hear
the battle pass you by
