The owl comes out
To see the night sky
He ponders and thinks,
But doesn't see why
These creatures are so different
They are bigger
They are stronger
Yet are so weak
They don't get along with their own kind
And they all turn against each other
The owl looks about
And discovers the stars
Unlike these creatures
He is able to see far
The young owl is full of curiosity
Yet he is expected to be wise
So then the owl takes off
To see the world
For what it really is

The owl comes out
To see the night sky
He ponders and thinks,
But doesn't see why
These creatures are so different
They are bigger

Yet are so weak
They don't get along with their own kind
And they all turn against each other
The owl looks about
And discovers the stars
Unlike these creatures
He is able to see far
The young owl is full of curiosity
Yet he is expected to be wise
So then the owl takes off
To see the world
For what it really is
