[Intro]
In the soft morning light, he walks alone
Through the park where shadows softly groan
Every step a memory of days gone by
A whisper of wisdom beneath the endless sky
[Verse 1]
He found solace on a weathered bench
Where time moves slow, though his heart still clenches
An old man’s sigh with a bird on a tree,
"Hey little friend, can you hear me?"
[Pre-Chorus]
He shared a tale, told it tenderly,
"Life’s a flight but a risky journey,
So listen closely, don’t fly too high,
Or you might find it’s a dangerous sky."
[Chorus]
"Don't fly too high, my little bird,
'Cause if you try, you may get hurt.
You will burn your wings when you reach for the sun,
Keep your dreams close, until the day is done."
[Verse 2]
One day the bird, on a whim, took flight,
Soaring high above, chasing the light
The old man watched with a mix of pride,
And a hint of worry as the bird glides
[Pre-Chorus]
"Oh, little friend, heed my refrain,
Up in the heavens, there’s beauty and pain,
So fly with caution, stay near the ground,
‘Cause even the brave can lose their sound."
[Chorus]
"Don't fly too high, my little bird,
'Cause if you try, you may get hurt.
You will burn your wings when you reach for the sun,
Keep your dreams close, for the night will come."
[Bridge]
One fateful dawn, the old man stood tall,
On the highway, waiting for the call
He tried to stop the cars that sped by,
For his feathered friend, with a hopeful why
[Verse 3]
But the roads were wild, and the traffic unkind,
His heart was heavy, a worry entwined
Yet in that moment he released a sigh,
"Fly if you must, but watch the sky."
[Chorus]
"Don't fly too high, my little bird,
'Cause if you try, you may get hurt.
You will burn your wings when you reach for the sun,
But if you land softly, the battle's half won."
[Outro]
So he sat on his bench, beneath the old tree,
Memories fluttered like leaves in the breeze
"Fly softly, dear bird, you’re a piece of my heart,
In this world of wonder, we're never apart."
