Oh my word
How to begin
When it's more
Than you can take in

Birds are flying
In the sky
Seagulls crying
Above you and I

Oh my word
When you are down
Lift your gaze
Up from the ground

The Sun is rising
In the sky
Unsurprising
Yet it catches the eye

Sad days
Belong to the past
Only a fool
Could expect them to last
Fist clenched
Tears in the eyes
Awaiting the moment
When it subsides

Birds are flying
Way up high
Seagulls crying
As am I
Sun is rising
In the sky
Unsurprising
Yet it catches the eye

Heydays
Belong to the past
Only a fool
Could expect it to last
Fist clenched
Tears in the eyes
I stand alone
In diminishing light

Oh my word
Oh my word
Oh my word
Oh my word
