Story Of A Bird

(álbum: Windows Of Time - 2022)

All that glitters wasn't gold
As my ignorance unfolds
Often have you heard that told
Many a man his life hath sold
To thine own self be true
He is ill clothed that bare virtue
Worms do enfold in guilted tombs
Who pays the piper calls the tune
Here goes the story of a bird
Of waking life the trees were stirred
From mighty oaks acorns mature
Where faults are made lessons are learned
La la, la la la

So off you go, little sparrow
Find your wings and watch them grow
You may fall but you will never be alone
When things go wrong, they sometimes will
The clouds of doubt begin to fill
Willingness to step in the unknown

If you wait for me, I'll wait for you
Some lessons are best taught not by our scars but by our wounds
To make mistakes is nature's way
Of humbling us to face the simple truth

If you wait for me, I'll wait for you
Some lessons are best taught not by our scars but by our wounds
To make mistakes is nature's way
Of humbling us to face the simple truth

Into the midst of fabled skies
A fleeting glimpse of paradise
A trial must be earned
Then out of the storm and rain he flies
Shifting between a paradigms
Weeping for his wished return
Mold and amend me ascending

So off you go, little sparrow
Find your wings and watch them grow
You may fall but you will never be alone
When things go wrong, they sometimes will
The clouds of doubt begin to fill
Our willingness to step in the unknown

A rolling stone gathers no moss
Compelled to crystallize its hue
Adversity life's diamond dust
Unearthing permeating clues
In mystery our soul abides
In seeking truth in where it lies
None are so blind who's absent mind
While aching bones hold fervent finds
Here ends the story of the bird
Who must transcend to emerge
To one day prosper and mature
Till then rapture repeats the song of

So off you go, little swallow
Trust your wings and watch them soar
Courage is to know what not to fear
When evening winds are hard to bear
The clouds are dim with no one near
We'll meet again beyond this vale of tears
