If I were a bird,534Please respect copyright.PENANAsMJX3BpKzW
I would sing with my sweetest voice,534Please respect copyright.PENANAIJIy56Xj7O
Spilling melodies into the morning light,534Please respect copyright.PENANASTFir5cdh6
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,534Please respect copyright.PENANAj4KDrH5pN6
I would glide across the river,534Please respect copyright.PENANAGEtQxM3XZg
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,534Please respect copyright.PENANASXLOXd36ca
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,534Please respect copyright.PENANAZm6X2RzJBb
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.534Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xpq9mlfEn
Whisper secrets to the flowers,534Please respect copyright.PENANAm8Cay7ME5v
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,534Please respect copyright.PENANACb1G4lk4zD
The water thick with man’s decay.534Please respect copyright.PENANA3bWa1mu1pZ
And I would falter, breathless,534Please respect copyright.PENANAMgjs91JJqa
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,534Please respect copyright.PENANA0BUaxfJhD0
No different from any other,534Please respect copyright.PENANAgjzOt9aEmz
A tiny, nameless thing,534Please respect copyright.PENANAQYfUNHHB0D
Swallowed whole—534Please respect copyright.PENANAZiTjUk4ksw
A life forgotten,534Please respect copyright.PENANAGHBxX7yTox
Vanished in the human world.
