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.
