I Am A Little Bird

I am a little bird,

With wings so small;

That tree so tall

For ever, I fall.

I am a little bird,

With dreams soar high;

Though I have no hope

To fly those skies.

I am a little bird,

With no food to grow;

Trying so hard,

Let no weakness show.

I am a little bird,

With no home to go;

Long time wand’rer

Of this world, alone.

I am a little bird,

Looking high to the sky;

I’m sick of suff’ring,

I’m tired of life.

I am a little bird,

I am waiting;

Waiting, some day,

That something will change.
