Free Bird

There are a million fish in the sea.  
All apples on an ordinary tree.  
Swimming schools, together as one.  
But why swim when you were meant to run?  
 
I’m a bird in a world full of fish,  
take that how you wish: 
with a chocolate malt, 
or a grain of salt.  
 
I tried to swim with the crowd,  
could I forget about my cloud? 
Even if wings are not fins? 
Cats and dogs are not Siamese twins. 
 
Time is short, life is weak.  
Why waste it in a creek?  
I’ll flutter my wings; I’m bound to fly,  
Look out sky!
