The Bird

Children playing-and the sound of laughter

Running away-and chasing after.

Moving on-a couple is crying

So sad and lonely-someone is dying.

Now theres busses-dropping kids from school

On up the way-people around the pool.

Millions and millions-of things to see

Never in one place-so totally free.

The clouds so warm-the sun going down

Drifting all over-from town to town.

A man is yelling-while a woman cries

He knocks her down-and blacks her eyes.

On up the road-punks in the street

Carrying guns-with people to meet.

Cars on the highway-looking on to see

The wreck up ahead-that sadly killed 3.

Balloons and streamers-decorations galore

A birthday party- for the boy that turned 4.

Forever flying-looking down to see

How happy and sad-the world can be.

Tree to tree-and state to state

Watching the world-thru the hands of fate.
