[music & lyrics: daniel gildenlow]
|
|
When I was a little child, I once found a bird lying on the ground.
|
It would not ever fly again.
|
I held the bird up in my hands, I shed my tears over the lovely song that
|
not longer could be heard.
|
|
Never learn to fly.
|
|
With dirty hands I dug a hole and gently laid the bird to rest in soil:
|
|
a wound in the tear stained mud.
|
My tears wore rain as I revealed the secrets of a tree.
|
A cross of bark to speak through wooden grains:
|
|
"never learn to fly"
|
|
I sang a song which I remembered my grandma used to sing
|
for me, when I was sick and laid in bed.
|
Then I cursed that day for showing me my own mortality
|
for then I knew that all that lives turns cold. Cold and dead.
|
And now time has passed by beneath my wings.
|
|

|
|
That was then I'm older now, but still I can't forget that rainy day.
|
I raged against the ending times, though some day soon my son will maybe
|
find the tree I cleansed of skin.
|
No chain-sling will ever climb its rotten limbs.
|
And when the time has come for me to die, I want to lie beside that bird.
|
|
Never learn to fly.
|
|
When I was a little child, I once found myself dying on the ground
|
and now I'll never ...fly...
