Once I was a bird

On your shoulder I could rest

Looking through your telescope

The sun had risen in the west

I have risen too

You have crafted me anew

You've sewn me a new pair of lungs

Have I honored you?

I will fly above the world

Beyond your cloudy skies

And when the ground is shattering

You will hear my lonely cries

I’ll bury you with what you’ve made

In our windmill you can rest

Should I finish what you left

Was it meant for me?

Have I honored you?

In my lonely palace I sit abovе your town

I meant to give them flight but thеn the people began to drown

So now Ill leave them to themselves without their bonds to the sky

They’ll do what I tell them everyday and they won’t question why

Their heads are full of fish and corn and their ears are full of salt

They can hear the ocean through their noses they don’t know it’s my fault

And now they live everyday in a different mind

I only meant to do you good, how was I so blind?
