[Verse]
In the forest shade where shadows crawl
A bird sang perched on the tallest wall
A fox below with ears to the song
Wondered aloud if it should belong
[Verse 2]
"Why do you leap
Why do you roam?"
The bird chirped sharp from its leafy throne
"You’ll never reach this sky so wide
Stay on the ground where dreams have died"
[Chorus]
The fox looked down but felt a sting
The weight of the words clipped its wings
It thought to leap but held its ground
A hopeless tune in the air did sound
[Verse 3]
"Your feet are tied to the dirt and pine
Your kind will never know heights like mine
Why even try
Why even care?
This world above is for wings that dare"
[Bridge]
But deep below the fox’s chest
A spark refused to lay to rest
"I may not fly or touch the clouds
But I still walk
And I walk proud"
[Verse 4]
The bird laughed high
A silver note
But the fox stood still and cleared its throat
"You sing your tune to tear me down
But my steps will echo through this ground"
