Robin

you were a star, brightly shining
a bird set free in a new land
trying to soar and finding your way
you had much potential

soaring high, no guidance by
the light you once held dearly
in foreign terrain we restrain
to share our pressing burdens

somewhere free you flew too far
to rocks and cliffs unpassing
we said we were just trying to guide
but you could do the rest

don't believe the earth holds better promises
we warm the hearts of mortals but never touch the clouds

we fly in packs to save the ones
who fly to find perfection
who believe the lies of Satan's wives
that we are doomed to failure

a time apart a time between
differences don't matter
the common love of friends we share
gives air to collapsed lungs

don't believe the earth holds better promises
we warm the hearts of mortals but never touch the clouds
