Where the wind takes the honey bee
A person of no consequence
I am but a feather in the wind
A grain of sand in the storm
A flake of snow in the blizzard
Determined to sing freedom's songs.
I flow with the water, blow with the wind
As light as cotton, a song they sing
As full of air as the liar's glare
As small and ignoble as the hangman's stare.
Where it ends I know not
For no one, nothing I ever fought
The wind carries me across the sea
At the sight of waves, I don't flee.
For who am I, a tiny being
Onto forces strong I cling
No end to my travel, I am faint
I flow with the water, I am just sane.
And for my obscurity who is to blame
I was born a grain of dust in the rain
Unlike you, I don't desire change
Not one of the many who act in haste.
So I travel the realm, from the river to the sea
As far as my tiny eyes can see
Yet, nothing, no one ever stops me
Who am I, but a tiny honey bee.
