There is yet a group of those whose presence needs no name
Who work so we can play and take our leisure
Those who make the structure that supports our treasured game
Building the kingdom with deeds
Giving of their life-blood, pouring it like wine
Making all things happen in their timeChorus:
Birds of a feather, you come where there’s need
Birds of a feather, need no praise to do the deed
Birds of a feather, forever on the wing
You are not fair weather friends, you are the real thing
You serve the KingSuch a homely bird and yet so versatile a beast
You make all of the work seem very simple
But who can run the office or can autocrat a feast
Make reports or run the Lists
Mountains turn to molehills when Pelicans are through
And that is just part of what you doChorus:
Birds of a feather, you come where there’s need
Birds of a feather, need no praise to do the deed
Birds of a feather, forever on the wing
You are not fair weather friends, you are the real thing
You serve the King
A song for the Order of the Pelican.
