Let Me Sing For You
Let me sing for you
The nightingale told the red hearted hibiscus
With the golden lips
No, Sir poet, replied the common flower
Your lyric is complicated
And I get hyperventilated
Trying unravel both seduction and power
Dear me, dear me, O dear me
Sang the nightingale
It is mistaken identity
I sing the words that all birds use
In my own meaning
It is oversimplicity
I use to mask the urgency of pain.
I cannot live unless I sing
O let me sing for you.
