It's the Bird in the Sky

The Bird in the Sky that Forgot How to Fly

It' s the bird in the sky that forgot how to fly

   who came to me one day

my shoulder stooped, plans duped 

   I wanted to shoo him away

you won't understand, get off my land

   go back to your utopian sky

you know of no falls, no clumsy sprawls

    a thousand fails to your try

but his wings only flapped, his feet clapped

    it just wouldn't take him to the clouds

saw its desperate mien, effort in vain

   with a head meek and bowed

and suddenly, the hurt in me

    embraced the limping bird

saw the blue above, an acing dove

   and of its kind an entire herd 

I comprehend, you understand

    little wings, you are just like me

were both birds in the sky that forgot how fly

    but will one day do so freely
