I am a fish and they are birds,
Out of my reach and my heart burns,
Wish I could touch those birds that fly,
They taunt me from their azure sky,
Trapped in my sea away from love,
I have no arms to reach a dove,
So all alone am I today,
The birds that flew have gone away,
But in the sun their beauty shines,
I’m trapped down here by cruel designs,
But I can see them in their sky,
And from my sea I wonder why,
I am a fish and they are birds,
Out of my reach and my heart burns,
A sad sad song my heart it sings,
But soon I hope to spread my wings.
