for Helen
Bird flying, tree reaching up to the sky
Bird flying, tree reaching up to the sky
I look at that bird, but I feel like that tree
roots tied to the ground, hands reaching up to be free;
Bird flying, tree reaching up to the sky
Sun’s rising, think I’ll let it do my traveling for me Sun’s rising, think I’ll let it do my traveling for me Rising sun, yellow sky warms up the pillow where I lie Sun’s rising, think I’ll let it do my traveling for me
Bird flying, casts a shadow going by Bird flying, casts a shadow going by I look at that bird, but I feel like that tree roots tied to the ground, hands reaching up to be free; Bird flying, tree reaching up to the sky
