Lyrics

You aspire to be bird

Beyond word into song

Beyond earth into sky

But ground makes your sound

Too solid, too rooted

To be part of our choir

Your thunder and roar

The noise as you soar

Disturbing our night

And clouding our light

Drowns all our protests

The joy of our nests

Were you as we, you'd see

How to grow into blue

We are not here for you

But ourselves, so how can

We teach you the sky

Teach you transparency?

You aspire to be bird?

Oh my word, it's absurd!
