I have tried to fly
but don't think it's for me
trying on wings
just so i could see

Most they were pretty
and some of them small
but this little bear
couldn't fly at all

Some were so grand
and some were just plain
i tried them all on
again and again

And each time i tried
to fly in mid air
it didn't feel right
being way up there

So i'll leave it to those
who have their own wings
and let them fly high
where their music sings

And most little bears
just want to be free
to wander the woods
so that's where i'll be

And I will stay here
i'll make my own sound
and sing my own song
where my feet touch the ground.

I see her out of the corner of my eye
I look at her indirectly
Admiring her tattoo of
Golden flower pedals

She catches me looking
And our eyes lock into place
For that moment
Hers is the only face
I see
In a crowded train car

I start to think
If we took different paths
She could be another
Our lives entangled
Shared on solid ground

She gives me a smile
And I smile back
I don't know her voice
But I felt her words

The train stopped and we
Walk in opposite
Directions
But for that brief moment
I no longer
Felt alone
