If I were a bird,388Please respect copyright.PENANAX8aLYbnQHH
I would sing with my sweetest voice,388Please respect copyright.PENANAirkcJgdrKZ
Spilling melodies into the morning light,388Please respect copyright.PENANAROqSnOQhyF
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,388Please respect copyright.PENANA4u6lPBzF0W
I would glide across the river,388Please respect copyright.PENANAfME97IhCFt
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,388Please respect copyright.PENANAls77SPwhUv
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,388Please respect copyright.PENANAD6S6DJj4Nf
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.388Please respect copyright.PENANAOgxrAMS3XK
Whisper secrets to the flowers,388Please respect copyright.PENANAc60VwVbv7c
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,388Please respect copyright.PENANAYMNegnyW8W
The water thick with man’s decay.388Please respect copyright.PENANAs721nDQp4Z
And I would falter, breathless,388Please respect copyright.PENANAtSRDLv7XgF
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,388Please respect copyright.PENANArK7aPoc7T5
No different from any other,388Please respect copyright.PENANAXuRyO0HSbi
A tiny, nameless thing,388Please respect copyright.PENANA2zMO6c2HBK
Swallowed whole—388Please respect copyright.PENANAheFY4PxqOw
A life forgotten,388Please respect copyright.PENANA8jSuNoaAXX
Vanished in the human world.
