Elevated

by Matt Freire

I have a bird’s eye view
Of the under ground
People walk around
And they don’t make a sound
And I see
All that’s happening
See them wish
For something
But is doesn’t come true
It doesn’t come to pass
And all that happens
Is this life that you past
And you wish
Once again
But nothing will happen
You will die in the end
And I see this every day
Live underground
Wishing life away

You need to be like
A bird you do
Get real high
Get a better point of view
And see the life
See the underground
Broaden vertical
The horizon you found
And you’ll be
Happier then
Soaring up high
You can be the wind

I have a bird’s eye view
Of the under ground
See you walking
Without a sound
And you want
To have your thoughts herd
But no one will listen
Because this life’s absurd
And you need to get up
And you need to talk
And give all schmucks
A piece of your thoughts
And if
Only one heard
Then you have not failed
And you’ve spoken your word
And maybe
They will write down the words
And it becomes a song
Your voice will be herd

You need to be like
A bird you do
Get real high
Get a better point of view
And see the life
See the underground
Broaden vertical
The horizon you found
And you’ll be
Happier then
Soaring up high
You can be the wind

I have a bird’s eye view
Of the life to come
So you need to chill
And have some fun
And talk
Have your thoughts heard
Write them down
Remember your words
And be
All you can be
And if you want to be free
Don’t join the army
So live
This life to the max
Be your own you
And don’t look back
