Counting sparrows in the sky,
soon to wish that I could fly~
Counting sheep upon the ground~
soon to wish the lost were found~

Blooming meadow holds inspiration,
evening sunlight dawns  imagination~
Singing bird of lovely view~
clouds so white, and sky so blue~

Sudden footsteps within the night,
darkened clouds hide pale moonlight~
Phantom wings glide above,
screeching haunted cursid dove~

Fallen shadows creep behind,
invisible demons play tricks on mind~
Never too careful to go alone,
never forsaken to cry for home~

Gasping for air; gasping for breath,
praying the cold doesn't grip you to death~
Nowhere to run; nowhere to hide,
feeling the fear deep from inside~
