Birds and Fishes

I saw the one go out the window.
I saw the one go up the dam
And come back down,
And come back down again.
I saw the one go out the window.
I saw the one go up the dam
And come back down,
And come back down again.
What is this?
If not to know and be known —
To share your plate,
This seemingly impossible obstacle.
Oh, it’s been a dark time.
I remember it well,
It is in me still.
I have seen that I can die,
I’m reminded and I wave my own flag.
I saw the one go out the window,
I saw the one go up the dam
And come back down
And come back down again.
I saw the one go out the window,
I saw the one go up the dam
And come back down
And come back down again.
School of fish — one’s lending me hope
Who share their plates
Fighting for Truth, Joy, Justice, or Just Try Again
Or Lend a Kind Eye.
I could just give up,
Maybe sleep all day,
Turn the TV on,
Wave my own flag.
I could just give up,
Maybe sleep all day,
Turn the TV on
Or wave my own flag.
I saw the one go out the window,
I saw the one go up the dam
And come back down
And come back down again.
I saw the one go out the window,
I saw the one go up the dam
And come back down
And come back down again.
Again, again…
I saw the one go out the window,
(I'll try again)
I saw the one go up the dam
(Again, again)
And come back down
And come back down again.
Again, again…
I saw the one go out the window,
I saw the one go up the dam
And come back down
And come back down again.
Again, again…
