I Am a Deer
I went walking through the forest
in the autumn rain
Gone to nature's lucid grace
to heal up all my pain
The heavy drops, they fell on me
they made me look so teared
And in the murky lake I saw
my reflection, like a mirror
To my surprise, I did not look
as I had thought I would
No graceful wolf or fiery fox
trotting through the woods
As I looked down and saw my face
no predator was I
But nature's quirk, a speckled deer
with big, round, onyx eyes
It came so fast, but I had knew
inside me all along
I was no lynx's rumbled snarl
but a timid sparrow's song
I had lived my life in fear
my every moment lost
To roaming 'round the village wall
fearing I'd pay some cost
I thought I was a chickadee
singing merry and bright
But I'm a tiny blackbird chick
Who's too afraid to fly
in the autumn rain
Gone to nature's lucid grace
to heal up all my pain
The heavy drops, they fell on me
they made me look so teared
And in the murky lake I saw
my reflection, like a mirror
To my surprise, I did not look
as I had thought I would
No graceful wolf or fiery fox
trotting through the woods
As I looked down and saw my face
no predator was I
But nature's quirk, a speckled deer
with big, round, onyx eyes
It came so fast, but I had knew
inside me all along
I was no lynx's rumbled snarl
but a timid sparrow's song
I had lived my life in fear
my every moment lost
To roaming 'round the village wall
fearing I'd pay some cost
I thought I was a chickadee
singing merry and bright
But I'm a tiny blackbird chick
Who's too afraid to fly
