I stand atop the highest rock
as the tourists gaze at the sights given
I wish that I could understand the language they talk
oh what I’d give to be human
I stare down into the canyon
watching the crows sit with their herd
they look happy to be on the rock that’s abandoned
oh what I’d give to be a bird
The world is better seen from above
but while I can fly, there is still fire from the sun
it’s rays scorch me with dehydration
oh how easy it would be for a human
It’s too high up here and I hate the heat
if I had wings I dont have to say even one word
I’m thirsty and just need one drink
oh how easy it would be for the life of a bird
They look so calm and peaceful
with their problems being close to none
they live their lives for the joy in their soul
oh how life would be the dream if I was human
I lock eyes with a crow alone on his perch
he has dark brown eyes just like mine
I start to think our lives aren’t so different on this earth
and that although our contrasts, we still find something that both of us can rhyme
Her eyes were the same color as mine
it seems she understood the pain that I couldn’t say in words
and I thought that maybe..just maybe
this life as a small small bird
couldn’t be quite as different as the life that is hers
