Song History
When I was a boy, we had an old barn my grandfather had built in the 1930s and 1940s, complete with an amazing loft for the hay. Each and every year from the time I could remember, that barn was occupied by majestic-flying barn owls. Each spring, a whole new brood would be hatched and the mama owl would never let us near her babies, hissing menacingly if we so much as peeked into the nest! I would dream of those owls and how cool it was that we had our very own set of owls! In the story, Captured, the owl represents the faithfulness of a true friend and is also the embodiment of true wisdom. It is easy to succumb to petty selfishness. True wisdom comes from seeing from a more positive perspective…just as an owl who can soar above and see clearly even in the midst of darkness. As you listen, determine in your own mind that you will seek true wisdom all your days. You will be a better man for it.

Verse
Who? Who? Who is a friend like you?
Who? Who? Who would dare defend like you?
Who can ride the wind faithful to the end like you?
Who? Who? Who is so wise like you?
Who? Who? Who can see through lies like you?
Who would give his life flying through the night like you?
Chorus
Ollieman fly high into the sky!
Lead me through the night with your all-seeing eye!
I will follow you wherever you lead!
Ollieman soar! There is always more!
Lead me to the wisdom that’s worth dying for!
I will follow you wherever you lead!
You’re a friend, indeed!
Verse
Who? Who? Who has a friend like mine?
Who? Who? Who above the clouds can fly?
Faithful through the trials, faithful through the miles like you?
Who? Who? Who wise and Oh, so bold!
Who? Who? Whose heart is pure as gold?
Who could be a friend faithful to the end like you?
Chorus
Ollieman fly high into the sky!
Lead me through the night with your all-seeing eye!

Bridge
I have never met anybody yet who is really quite like you!
Singing out in rhyme at the perfect time like you do!
I have never heard any other bird who is really quite like you!
Always so astute! I get quite a hoot out of knowing you!
Chorus
Ollieman fly high into the sky!
Lead me through the night with your all-seeing eye!
I will follow you wherever you lead!
Ollieman soar! There is always more!
Lead me to the wisdom that’s worth dying for!
I will follow you wherever you lead!
You’re a friend, indeed!
