lyrics
JUST LIKE TREES AND BIRDS
Our bodies are just like trees
Our bodies ( bent over ) are just like trees ( exposed; endangered )
Our bodies ( limbs twisted ) are just like trees ( fragile; vulnerable )
Our bodies ( growth stunted ) are just like trees ( dwarfed; unhealthy )
We sway, we shake, we bend… we break
All determines our growth, our shape
Our spirits are just like birds
Our spirits ( uplifted ) are just like birds ( soaring; gliding )
Our spirits ( instinctive ) are just like birds ( driven; natural )
Our spirits ( transient ) are just like birds ( fleeting; disappearing )
We fly, we plane, we plunge… we flee
All determines our chance to be free
We live, overcome, survive… succumb
All determines what we become
Our bodies are just like trees
Our spirits are just like birds
Our bodies, and spirits, are just like trees, and just like birds
