If I were a bird,533Please respect copyright.PENANAKNlVBRBqN1
I would sing with my sweetest voice,533Please respect copyright.PENANAAK6qS3tpQz
Spilling melodies into the morning light,533Please respect copyright.PENANAz6l2dcLOLg
Perched on a bench in Hyde Park.
Buffeted by rain, torn by storms,533Please respect copyright.PENANAwijbs6jvlx
I would glide across the river,533Please respect copyright.PENANA9dEBbZs6Qc
Skimming the ripples of a world too loud,533Please respect copyright.PENANAl7lXxPYr1x
Fluttering through the ego of men.
I would build my nest in their gardens,533Please respect copyright.PENANASl7g70eYGH
Perch on their trees, watch unseen.533Please respect copyright.PENANAVkXr0BlrbE
Whisper secrets to the flowers,533Please respect copyright.PENANAWphh5bBV0e
As if nature still belonged to me.
But the air would turn heavy in my lungs,533Please respect copyright.PENANAzNVpoZ7Rvm
The water thick with man’s decay.533Please respect copyright.PENANABYPzE9uKWt
And I would falter, breathless,533Please respect copyright.PENANAT58ZZ8e8Z7
Drowning in what they left behind.
Alone, I would fall,533Please respect copyright.PENANAO3znDhaCUy
No different from any other,533Please respect copyright.PENANAO4FK70ZAf7
A tiny, nameless thing,533Please respect copyright.PENANA7ru88lY8PF
Swallowed whole—533Please respect copyright.PENANAEcrR4t0a3L
A life forgotten,533Please respect copyright.PENANAKw6ObRW0yK
Vanished in the human world.
