lyrics

On holiday, I was in a sunny yard crying.
When would they tell us about dignity, the human dream?
I so wondered, I almost fell asleep.
But no calming thoughts came from under the deep.
A mockingbird flew down to solve it,
while the taller birds ripped away the ears.
After I woke up, I almost saw all of it,
and observed the interplay was weird,
crying, “Cheer up!” but neither bird could hear.
It was a long walk from the library,
a longer one back there.
Birds all the way and more.
Mealy me and my big hope.
I’ll give it the heave-ho.
