Analysis of The birds are flying south.
You go without me.
But take me with you.
My hope you have.
I cope some more.
Fear not my end.
But new beginnings.
My love you have.
I cope some more.
Sleep on one side.
Yet be strong.
My gratitude you have.
I cope some more.
Follow your dreams.
Trust your friends.
My gifts you have.
I cope some more.
Love your new heart.
Such heart you love.
My faith you have.
I cope some more.
