The Bird

My wings are stiff
They won\'t move up and down
I can\'t spread them
I can\'t leave the ground

I look up above
At everyone flying so high
No matter how far I reach
I can\'t touch the sky

They look down at me
And say come on let\'s go
It\'s beautiful up here
From down there you\'ll never know

After a time
They seem to give up
They leave me behind
Saying good luck

They think I don\'t care
That I choose not to fly
But they don\'t understand
I really do try

My wings are just broken
They can\'t lift me up
To feel the air beneath me
Is all that I want

Something so small
That they take for granted
To me is a seed
That needs to be planted

With a little help
To get off the ground
I could be flying
And souring around

But they don\'t see
The broken wings
They never come close enough
They just fly by and sing

I\'m a grounded bird
Who dreams of flying
But stuck down here
I\'m slowly dieing
