You don't see me here, living in the smoke

No wait, don't come near, I'm reminiscing, yesteryear

I know you folk, you'll take me to the town I ran from

Pack my bags and let my feet take me to the place where all the rest relate

Don't be late, keep going straight, eyes on license plates

Marks on every car tell me I'm going the wrong way

We'll work it out, sneak into the station, on the freight train

Light-up signs scrolling by, I'm on my way to Keepsay

Tall, tall buildings, people crossing

Flutter my wings, this looks promising

Not a single nose ring once we pass the tall gates

Humid like a hot spring, but rainy air is welcoming

Taking off my mask, taking in the scenery

Taking off in flight, oh, I'm flying with the bees, look at the

Bright blue sky and clouds so white, I've never felt so free

I'm seeing miles and miles ahead of me, soaring past tall almond trees

Feels so good to give my wings a stretch, tucked away so long

Feels so good to be out of that mess, breathing smog so long

Doing spins and fluttering, I'm boutta sing a birdsong

Prep for landing, gracefully planting my feet on limestone

Shaking out my wings before I enter the cafe

Warm and welcoming, I order an iced latte

Everything is perfect, sparkling clean

I wonder what kept me from doing this sooner?

Walking downtown as I sip on the caffeine

Glancing left and right at all the happy people 'round me

Oh, this is nice, I'd never give this away again

Waving at passersby with wings, little simple nod, "Hi"
