I feel the sun beating down on me
I hear the wind blowing up through the trees
I see the birds flying all so free
And how I'm wishing that's how is could be
I see the pain in all of their eyes
They gain their strength from deep inside
I hear them whisper with regret
I often wonder how could we forget
I read the papers and I watch the news
They tell the story as they choose
The road of life is not always that clear
It's hard to believe all that we hear go 2 3 4
I see the cars passing me by
I watch the smoke blowing into the sky
I hear the children's rhythm in their feet
They walk and talk to a different beat
I watch my life passing me by
I wish I could be that bird in the sky
Free from pain and all of its sins
No bars or cages to hold me in
