Birds Encouraged Him

[Verse 1]
He's just a kid who hid inside a hole
His ears could no more hear the story told
No longer did he wonder of gettin' old
As birds encouraged him on life to hold

[Chorus]
And they said
"Why, oh why, why you don't even try
Why, oh why, why you don't even try
Why, oh why, oh why just one more night
Why, oh why, why you don't even try"

[Verse 2]
He's just a kid who hid inside a hole
His eyes could no more see the story told
No longer shivering for fear or cold
As birds encouraged him on life to hold

[Chorus]
And they said
"Why, oh why, why you don't even try
Why, oh why, why you don't even try
Why, oh why, oh why just one more night
Why, oh why, why you don't even try
Why, oh why, why you don't even try
Why, oh why, why you don't even try
Why, oh why, oh why just one more night
Why, oh why, why you don't even try"
