about

This is about an actual ray of light that I saw one time.

lyrics

Rest assured you will find me resting beneath the leaves of the park,
Humming the notes to a tune we listened to before in the very same spot,
With rays of light,
Down from the shade comes a blue bird baby girl, a relic of her mother’s life,
She glances at me between fits of feathers and sings of her very first flight,
While rays of light go by
And showed us how to ask
And cleansed our folded hands at last,
Talks at the train stop, the loss of a loved one gave birth to a god in her life,
But push came to shove when he took another one, drunk and tired she retires,
So I recall a certain incident when I inquired the sky,
Do I live by mere coincident, animal or divine?
And rays of light went by.
