Wings
I am a bird
Where can I go?
Beyond the sun
Or down below?
When I wake
I haven't yet
Realize it's me
I've never met?
I have two wings
They say it's true
I'll use just one
What's more to do?
And there's the sun
They look at me
Keep flying towards
But never reach
And that's okay
'Cause down below
It's much too dark
For flowers to grow?
Sometimes the sun
Is much too bright
It peeks at me
Sleeping at night
My useless wing
It burns me so
They forgot it there
So long ago
I crow at dawn
Look at the sky
I'm marching on
Sweet lullabies
Yes I'm a bird
They told me so
And toward the sun
That's where I'll go?
