Preaching is for the birds.

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)

Leave the preaching to the birds.
They can carry the tune.

They can carry it, high and low.
Flutter it about.
Busy as the seasons change,
They'll get the message out.

They can swoop down, and fly around.
Seeing where to land.

Delivering this message:
Your life is in your hands.
