I dont want to shake the world
I just want to get my own
into the sky my body's hurled
the verdant springtime I make my home
I've just been born a mile away
searching for my lifes reason
I'll make the most of this beautiful day
for death is imminent in this season.
I sup on nectar, thank the makers
that my broken eyes caught light this morn
and though I know theyre also takers
I revel in chance to make my blood bourne
by a second chance of gifts galore
making music sweet and scared
I've lived this life of hardship before
when in loves trap I'd been ensnared
so I fly high into the blue
survey my green and vibrant kingdom
though I'm a serf, I feel its true
that victorious life I'll again bring them.
So dont pity me, oh longlifed man
I'm the free one, the spry mayfly
I'll be born again by Gods right hand
never searching for a place to die.
