The bird flew away from his nest
Intending to never come back.
He believed it was his destiny,
But he flew around endlessly,
And couldn't stay on the right track.

The bird came back to his nest
Intending never to go again.
He stays in the comfort of his home,
And promised himself never too roam,
The cold world again.

All he wanted was rumble fish,
And that's exactly what he got.
She just wanted to save them all,
In the end he got shot.

His dad drinks a bottle of *****,
And his brother runs away.
The father continues to abuse.
The brother stands near the bay.

Don't box the fish in
That's a recipe for disaster.
In the river he wants to see them swim.
That's just what he's coming after.

I Came to Say Hello

I came to say hello,
But you weren't there.
I knocked at the door,
But no one answered.
I threw rocks at your window,
But it never opened.
I yelled your name,
But I heard no reply.

I came to say hello,
But you ignored me.
When I knocked at your door
You paid no attention.
The rocks I threw at your window
You gave little mind,
But I know when I yelled your name
You heard me and started to cry.

I came to say hello,
But you didn't care.
When I knocked at the door
You wouldn't open it.
The rocks I threw at the window
You dismissed one by one,
But when I yelled your name
You replied with your goodbye.

I would like to feel the grass between my toes,
To breath in the fresh clean air,
With the sun shining on my face.
In an empty space,
Where one has no cares.

I really wouldn't be here or there,
With my mind in a blur.
This is how happiness feels,
Where the world has a honest appeal,
And the plants and the trees concur.

But this is all just a fantasy.
Only dreams within my head,
But I'll keep on dreaming,
And I'll keep on believing,
And I'll keep on looking ahead.

You have somewhere to go
Why are you walking so slow?
Everyone is behind you, you're crowding the way.
If I yell at you, you won't like what I say.
The crowd is getting madder by the second.
Saying things that are threatening.
Please get out of the way.
Can you hear what I'm trying to say?
Thanks for making me late to class,
And the next time I see you I'm going to kick your ***.
