I turn one way and the wind blows me over,nI turn another way and it's holding me up,nLuck has nothing to do with it,nThings change when you learn to loosen your grip.nI think one way and the future is desparate,nI think another way everything is in sight,nTrees bend so branches don't have to break,nWe mend the wounds of our last mistake.nnBirds swim, fish do fly,nProud man begins to cry.nBirds swim, fish do fly,nThings change, so why can't I?nnI live one way holding onto the fencepost,nI live another way sliding off into space,nEach life is loosely assembled,nInside the molecules tremble.nnBirds swim, fish do fly,nProud man begins to cry.nBirds swim, fish do fly,nThings change, so why can't I?nLittle by little we die.nnWashed up on the beach of betrayal,nHow did the Mesonyx become a whale?nBirds swim, fish do fly,nProud man begins to cry.nBirds swim, fish do fly,nThings change, so why can't I?nThings change,nFish fly.nnLittle by little we try,nLittle by little we die.nnWhy can't I?nWhy can't I?
