A Bird Flew Inside the House

A bird flew inside the house

To remind me of a promise, I made to myself

To keep poison from the well, and serpents from the nest

Everything’s in danger, and heaven needs help

Thoughts become concrete and turn into needs

It’s sad it won’t last through the gathering speed

The forest surrounds and it’s soothing

Take a deep breath and keep moving

I’m in someone else’s shoes

And I hear no good in the news

That I have nothing to lose

Everything’s in danger, and heaven needs help

Over the highways and in between aisles

And into the woods so deep

Tough as a winter freeze, light as maple keys

Where I will earn my keep

I’m in someone else’s shoes

And I hear no good in the news

That I have nothing to lose

Everything’s in danger, and heaven needs help
