I do not wish
To leave this place
Lock me not
Inside your cage
Factories
And busy roads
Foul my air
And wither trees
Hanging smoke
And Gray skies
For all to see
If I could
I would stay
Where I was born
Where I was raised
Home among the trees
The forests and leaves
I want to connect
With wind's caress
On face and on chest
From a high towered nest
As I look to the west
Lost in my books
Free from your stress
I will not leave
For I cannot sustain
This synthetic life
And needless pain
With a tranquil smile
I will gently diminish
Like Autumn's breath
At home I'll rest
To leave this place
Lock me not
Inside your cage
Factories
And busy roads
Foul my air
And wither trees
Hanging smoke
And Gray skies
For all to see
If I could
I would stay
Where I was born
Where I was raised
Home among the trees
The forests and leaves
I want to connect
With wind's caress
On face and on chest
From a high towered nest
As I look to the west
Lost in my books
Free from your stress
I will not leave
For I cannot sustain
This synthetic life
And needless pain
With a tranquil smile
I will gently diminish
Like Autumn's breath
At home I'll rest
