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
