Oh Sweet Bird Of Youth
Don't fall from your perch
Oh sweet bird of youth
For life doesn't always
Tell you the truth
There's many who lie
Deep in their lies
And hover around
Like unwanted flies
But, pay no heed
Oh sweet bird of youth
Ignore those who taunt
Or call you uncouth
For you are the blossom
The sweet morning dew
Unique to yourself
The most beautiful you!
You're the grain
In the woodwork
The smile
From a frown
The Up
From all
Who would
Knock you down
The sunset
The dawn
The twilight
Between
The conjurer
Of possible
The harvester
Of dreams
So, stay on your perch
Oh sweet bird of youth
One day you shall soar
And discover your truth!
