If I were a bird,440Please respect copyright.PENANAZcosPzdSdq
I would sing with my sweetest voice,440Please respect copyright.PENANAf0VkRTCbta
Spilling melodies into the morning light,440Please respect copyright.PENANAOHwRiX1lXV
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,440Please respect copyright.PENANAGa7jeTj0AE
I would glide across the river,440Please respect copyright.PENANA3ghMFGmCPu
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,440Please respect copyright.PENANAOxiOcRJKo9
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,440Please respect copyright.PENANAyzjzL7GgeW
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.440Please respect copyright.PENANA8JLrifjQlo
Whisper secrets to the flowers,440Please respect copyright.PENANAZdX6Qe3cXI
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,440Please respect copyright.PENANAfI9aHHv0eG
The water thick with man’s decay.440Please respect copyright.PENANAIcUr50cE54
And I would falter, breathless,440Please respect copyright.PENANAPnKeLGTNQb
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,440Please respect copyright.PENANA8tHu2I3SJS
No different from any other,440Please respect copyright.PENANAsSo1yR048Y
A tiny, nameless thing,440Please respect copyright.PENANAiKqIFzKE6c
Swallowed whole—440Please respect copyright.PENANADK4i4KwwpM
A life forgotten,440Please respect copyright.PENANAjYiGChoAuq
Vanished in the human world.
