A brick falls A feather falls Which hits the ground first? The brick smashes into pebbles While the feather hovers down, Oh so gentlly Is it the same case with people? The weight of the world makes us Like the brick Guilt, fear, anger In our hearts as we sink A feather falls It makes no sound, no crashing noise Yet it reaches its destination With great poise Twisting and turning And correcting itself Watch the brick fall No twists and turns, no direction Straightforward, with no correction It comes with a roaring thud Known only by the noise it makes Ignorant of its own mistakes Pulled down by the haul Of its own weight Be like the feather Be weightless! It does not mean You are late touching ground You just take your tender time Getting there Be like the feather Be complicated! Without twists and turns There can be no correction Recognize mistakes And learn from them Be like the feather Be flexible! Do not fall so hard To one destination You never know where The winds will guide you The brick falls The feather falls The brick lands The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather lands

A Feather Falls
A brick falls A feather falls Which hits the ground first? The brick smashes into pebbles While the feather hovers down, Oh so gentlly Is it the same case with people? The weight of the world makes us Like the brick Guilt, fear, anger In our hearts as we sink A feather falls It makes no sound, no crashing noise Yet it reaches its destination With great poise Twisting and turning And correcting itself Watch the brick fall No twists and turns, no direction Straightforward, with no correction It comes with a roaring thud Known only by the noise it makes Ignorant of its own mistakes Pulled down by the haul Of its own weight Be like the feather Be weightless! It does not mean You are late touching ground You just take your tender time Getting there Be like the feather Be complicated! Without twists and turns There can be no correction Recognize mistakes And learn from them Be like the feather Be flexible! Do not fall so hard To one destination You never know where The winds will guide you The brick falls The feather falls The brick lands The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather is falling The feather lands
