Bird's eye view

Run, hide
If they see you
Don't panic, slide
Hide ur beauty
Shield the sorrow
Race to the goal
Let aside worries for tomorrow

Stop if you can
Look around the hustle
The leaves you crushed
They used to rustle

Slow down a second
Smell the flowers
Before you plucked them
For bees, they had enchanted power

Don't run for the shade
Feel the drop
When the skies open
See us dance and hop

Yet you hurry past
Man with his mission
The tv is calling
The wine is falling
No time to stop
No time to see
I am just a peacock
Watching you be

As I sit in my hedge
What could I know
The wonders of the world
That I know as my whole
Is what you are running to see


From the comfort of ur bed
Documentaries about leaves
Shows about drought and rain
Campaigns for saving the planet
Are brainstormed in great detail

Stop dear human
Look around you and see
What you seek
Is what makes me

When I find it all
Near my hedge
Wish you could see it too
Feeling the world on your race towards the bed
