I've been thinking
About these broken homes
We come from
Too late
To change our fate
Sing a different song
Won't right the wrong
Songbird sings,
"If only life would treat me better"
Find another one
Another one
The songbirds sing, in spite of
Provenance or pleasure
Sing another one
Another one
Blown away
From where we came
Still singing
I've grown tired of finding out
All the things I live without
Seldom care, seldom seen
Everything that might have been
A razor blade in cotton wool
Given to the earth
These shrapnelled hollow nests we've flown
What are they worth?
Is it too late?
To change our fate
Sing a different song
Songbirds flee like
Feathered refugees
Together
Find another life
Another life
From a distance
Sung in symphony
Forever
It's a mating call
From one to all
"It will always be me."
"It will always be you."
The songbird sings,
"If only life would treat me better"
Find another one
Another one
The songbirds sing, in spite of
Provenance or pleasure
Sing another one
Another one
Blown away
From where we came
Still singing
Still singing
