Wings

[Verse 1] As a child I played a king Idolized the ponies Underneath the saddle sling Of soldiers warring the country into naught Took a branch and bent a bow Found the greenest sapling Carved an arrow for a crow And foraged into the forest without fear [Interlude] [Verse 2] Spied a bird with fragile wings Cut her peaceful ballad Nevermore the sparrow sings Tell me why does the warring live so long Warring live so long Threw a shout to set her free Tried to bend the arrow Back into a growing tree Return the bow to a sprite in need of string Cried and tried to make her breathe Begged the sky to birth one Thousand birds in every tree So I could let mother fauna reign on me [Interlude] [Verse 3] How to be a harmless man? I only wish to understand The power in my hands But, time will show that'll harm and harm again Took apprentice as a saint Even angels wish to pluck their wings and make mistakes That help the apples get sweeter every year Sweeter every year
