James Fisher — Where I Wish I Was From — lyrics
{Poem}
I’m from a world with glossy flowers and oak trees
With singing birds and a flowing breeze
Where the temperature is fifty seven degrees
And I’m tucked in a haven, safe from disease
Oh, what so many people would do
To get their hands on the shimmery pond beyond my view
And the crisp, green grass collecting dew
Ripe fruit on a bush, berries that are blue
I take advantage of everything I see
The sun, the birds, the land, the oak tree
Then one day, I thought, if it was all stripped away from me
Would I be left to live with nothing?
No welcoming, fluffy bed
No blood to be bled
No excitement, only dread
No sweet aroma of candy or crustiness of bread
So I learned to never take ahold of something
Because you’ll never know when that something will turn into nothing
I’d rather be a person with a glistening heart
Than be a person who took a huge chunk of everything from the start
If there is a place where I truly belong
It would be filled with warm smiles and neighborly love
A place where no people wear sour expressions
From somebody hogging too many possessions
The place I’d be from would be peaceful
No human would be more or less equal
This is the town where I would belong
If such a place existed, the world would be strong
Read completely
