There once was a bird
flew from tree to the next
chirpped a song to the wind
and was happy,

And the skies were so bright
and the waves were so white
and the dry fallen leaves made her sappy.

It'd be perfect to say
this unfortunate bird lived at peace
it could be, 'cept for one thing-

As life carries us on
and we're drifting along
we will end up more often
with nothing.

And so one normal day
this unfortunate bird
came upon a sunflower
'tween the branches,

But it had not a base
beside wide open space
and some people down under on benches.

Many days passed on by
birdie got curious
getting hold of the seeds was too tempting,

She got blinded with daze
of the sun with no base
every day underfed brought on a sting.

Leave it there she could not
let it wither and rot
or be shared by the wind through the forest,

Bravely then she decided
she'd live or would die
all for getting the one thing she loved best.

And she flew to the brenches
became paralized by the sun
gravity now became king,

Falling down through no base
near the bench and the people
and a sunflower
rests on her wing.
