A Bird Flew Inside the House

A bird flew inside the house
To remind me of a promise that I made to myself
To keep poison from the well, and serpents from the nest
Everything’s in danger, and heaven needs help
Thoughts become concrete, and turn into needs
Sad it won’t last through the gathering speed
The forest surrounds and it’s soothing
Take a deep breath and keep moving
I’m someone else’s shoes
And I hear the girl in the news
But I have nothing to lose
Everything’s in danger, and heaven needs help
Over the highways and in between aisles
And into the words so deep
Tough as a Winter freeze
Light as maple leaves
Where I will learn my keys
I’m someone else’s shoes
And I hear the girl in the news
But I have nothing to lose
Everything’s in danger
