Birds fall from the window ledge above mine. 
Then they flap their wings at the last second. 
You see birds fall from the window ledge above mine. 
Then they flap their wings at the last second. 
I can see their dead weight 
Just dropping like stones 
For small loaves of bread 
Past my window all the time. 
But unless I get up  
Walk across the room 
And peer down below  
I don't see their last second curves 
Toward a horizontal flight. 
All these birds just falling from the ledge like stones. 
Now due to a construct in my mind 
That makes their falling and their flight 
Symbolic of my entire existence, 
It becomes important for me 
To get up and see 
Their last second curves toward flight. 
It's almost as if my life will fall 
Unless I see their ascent.

It's almost like my life will fall, 
My life will fall, 
Unless I see their ascent.
