Promise
Give me the happiness of a peacock dancing before rain
Help me forget my sorrows, my cage, my pain
My heart aches to fly free with the wise cloud
I PROMISE I shall not utter my experiences aloud
Lend me for a minute the bright wings of a butterfly
I'll flit from flower to flower at dawn tasting nectar
Please don't allow the concrete jungle my happiness mar
In the wondrous moonlit night make me a bat
I PROMISE I'll go to sleep a few minutes after that
When I wake up next morn make me a bee
I'll see the hive's thousand bees & meet the queen
I PROMISE to go back to bed again.. I'll not be seen
Turn me into a wild rabbit in the lovely jungle
I'll enjoy the transformation
I PROMISE not to share the information
Make me a tiny dewdrop at early morn
I'll rest on a tiny leaf of your garden
I PROMISE not to tell about the treasures hidden
Its now mid afternoon & I'm smoking a cigarette
Dumbfounded at your beauty & colours on your palette

Us humans
I, too, admire nature. Its too bad sometimes we are either too busy, or too carefree and we miss it.
Its too bad some of us destroy it, just for the sake of profit.
I, too, wish I was an animal sometimes. Free of charges and free to do what I want, though I know that I should keep it as a secret.
And that, to me, is what this song is about. Thank you for this gem, Bishu.
Thank You HGF
Thank You HGF for sparing precious time... No gem Sir, its your imagination
