Given the choice
I'd fall from the sky
and shatter the Earth.
If only my voice
could open your eyes,
deliver your birth.
When vict'ry brings pain
what have you gained,
what have you lost?
Does anyone stop
to see what we've got,
to think of the cost?
****** by a tree
seems funny to me,
that we would be spurned.
For wanting to know
why everything grows,
for wanting to learn.
