I knew a bird, who loved to fly,
Higher than the clouds, higher than the sky...
New wings, new dreams, she flew out of her nest
This bird wanted to see love, life and the rest.
From the highest branches to the highest trees,
Above the world, closer to her dreams.
The bird reached her sky, flew among the clouds;
A new place,with new friends hovering around.
Among all, one cloud did she see...
Fairest of all, careless and free.
The little bird fancied her cloud,
Flew around him, and left the crowd.
Oh cloud how will he know,
A bird out of all, loved him so!
He loved his friend, chirpy little she
He floated with her, above rivers and seas...
Handsome young cloud, prince of the sky,
He loved the plains and the mountains high.
He melted in rain, over rivers and valleys
"You love them all?" the bird asked, "Really?"
The bird still flew up for her cloud,
Day or night, she was always around.
Until one day, the cloud had to leave...
Autumn's here, blue skies and cool breeze.
One last kiss, the bird gave her love...
A few drops of rain, for her, from above.
And, the cloud floated away, bidding goodbye,
Left alone was the bird, memories of days gone by.
The bird lost her cloud, to the mountains, to the seas
Her cloud has floated away to faraway cities...
Left with his memories, left with broken dreams,
The love-struck bird turned to the trees.
But the cold, dark night made her choke,
Half-way down, her wings cracked and broke.
She slid and fell, against the mountains, on the plains
With one last cry for her lost cloud and his rains.
Her loveless soul left her heart.
The wings of desire left the bird.
Up, up against the horizon...
Away from this worldly prison.
