wishing air was beating life into flight
on tattered wings of the lil black bird
grayer skies, little direction,
so much desire, so little affection.
heart on lifted wings of hope
all the emotions built up in smoke
lil black bird don't go there
it is more than heart can bare
can't pretend smoke won't kill
concrete heart won't ever heal
let it beat
let it fight
let it open up tonight
one must open eyes to see
the beauty that life can be.
