Walking around, looking at places
Watching from afar, reactions on faces
In plain view I see, there is no guarantee
In spite of the smiles the sadness runs for miles.
Birds of Paradise
Deep within an abundance of green
A river flows loudly in between
Hidden throughout this eternal destination
Without expectation and full of imagination
They prance and dance and fly gracefully
There’re so many flying across the terrain
The sky fills up with a colorful stain
They travel for miles singing their tune
They fly to a charming turquoise lagoon
They rest and feed so peacefully
They fly all across these grand blue skies
As they get to know this gorgeous paradise
They eat and enjoy all the colorful foods
The rainbow in the clouds makes them conclude
This is the place they have chosen happily.
They spend their days flying around
From tree to tree and onto the ground
They find a mate to be their guide
They make a home and nest by night
They grow their family gladly.
These are the Birds of Paradise
They live in a tropical paradise.
Their beautiful colors light up the sky
They will conquer anyone passing by
They can never be forgotten, indefinitely.
Suddenly, they hear a roaring sound
A tumbling across the forest ground
They peer closely just to see
A yellow monster rummaging their trees
Their green paradise cries belligerently
It doesn’t take them very long
To realize that they need to be gone
Their nesting home is no longer there
They need to migrate elsewhere
They search for shelter desperately
Even though it is not yet the time
For them to make this exhausting climb
They will surely begin their flying
Or they will most definitely die trying
Their new home awaits them openly
They migrate away
Traveling non stop almost every day
However strenuous their passage may be
They will take their family to safety
They journey to their new home happily.
These were the Birds of Paradise
They lived in a tropical paradise.
Their beautiful colors lit up the sky
They conquered anyone passing by
They will never be forgotten, indefinitely.
