Like the cries of a burning tree branch, It's agony in knowing it can be called a home no longer The frantic flutters of the devastated birds wings, Patting down the bark set ablaze, each swipe a little stronger Like hopes sprung high in a child's eyes As he walks into a candy store A mother's loving looks, watching him smile with his treasure skipping out the door Each soul in this ever changing world With its own piece to say Even if it's ever changing Effected by circumstance, day by day If we'd only take the time to listen Oh the melodies the wind can play The wise old words the waves can say
