Life From A Distance

Life From A Distance

 

Flocking birds in a meadow singing their song

 

I would love to be able to sing along

 

But they won’t let me

 

Because I am not one of them

 

So I fly away

 

To sit in a distant tree

 

Soaring eagle flying higher than I ever could

 

To fly along beside it would feel so good

 

But it won’t let me

 

Because I’m not one of him

 

So I fly away

 

To sit in a distant tree

 

Peacocks’ pretty feathers dancing in the wind

 

I would love to have such a pretty friend

 

But it won’t let me

 

Because I’m not as pretty

 

So I fly away

 

To sit in a distant tree

 

People sitting laughing and having fun

 

Wish for one second that I could be one

 

But life won’t let me

 

So I fly away

 

To sit in a distant tree

in a distant tree, dude im in

in a distant tree, dude im in a-whole-nother forest

they say you can be like them, but, you must conform its

not so easy to be a beautiful peacock, or a soaring eagle

because the way we see ourselves isnt percieved the same by other people 

we may not be accepted and trust me your not alone

i feel ya, dude, even my house dont feel like home

life is hard, people are harder, but stay strong you'll

learn to accept others for they will follow suit, and be strong willed

if they dont like you, fuck theyre tree, in you you must be a believer

and if they dont let you up there, chop it down, be a beautiful beaver
