lyrics

CYCLES

The wind bends the stalks
And the rain weighs them down
The droplets of rain
Fall down to the ground
The ground swallows whole
And the moisture sinks deep
The roots and the stalks
Cherish all they can keep.

The insects are crawling
And sucking the veins
Of the outstretching leaves
That are catching the rain
For the prey of the birds
As their camouflage breaks
But they are far more in number
Than the birds can take

And the birds in the air
Or on telegraph poles
Watching the people
In their houses and homes
The people are shouting
And some of them cry
But the people who shout
May be the first to take flight
