Birdsong from 2016 by Bobby Kakouris

Black skies
But I liked it better when the sun was in his eyes
Down by the water
But I liked it better when the sun reflects from the surface
I'm not gone because you're here
I'm not lost because you're near

Walk on our own path
Looking past the stars and I can't quite grasp the size of me
Thinking 'bout the past
But the grass looks greener than it did a few years back
And the birds sing, sweeter than I ever could
And I'm floating, higher than I ever would

He shrunk and I saw it
Screamed, smashed his fist
But I was too young
But now I'm here, older and sadder
He's telling me everything will be okay
And the birds sing, sweeter than I ever could
And I'm floating, higher than I ever would

Baby, you're driving me over to the sea
I was running fast, now I'm running free
