Birds on a Wire

BIRDS ON A WIRE
by Donna Holmes
inspired by Angie Campbell's photo & Susanne Campbell's music
 
We're all just sitting here, birds on a wire
So sad we're sitting in fear with no fire
Lighting us up and letting us go
On with our lives, oh no! oh no!

We're all just sitting here, waiting to fly
But in our fear we've forgotten just why
Our wings won't work, even though they look strong
Each feather's there but something wrong

So wrong
Been far too long
With no voice... no song!

We're all just sitting here, birds on a wire
So sad we're sitting in fear with no fire
Lighting us up and letting us go
On with our lives, oh no. oh no.
 
Oh no.



Fighting Darkness

I'm too worried to write a song
Been fighting darkness way too long
In hermit mode you can't think
Just hide, and sleep, and...  blink.
