The Dolphin and the Blue Jay

lyrics

Hear me speak from beneath these deep blue seas
My voice is reaching, calling
Beautiful Blue Jay hear my call
And listen to my yearning
The gravity keeps me encased in water
When I jump, I fly only for an instant
I see you for a brief moment
Out of the corner of my eye
How I wish that I could join you
To share in your flightpath
Above the trees and into the sky
That rising sun that parts the clouds
In cascading rays of light
Illuminating your wings
I hear it, so fleeting
The sound of your call
And then I’m falling
Falling back down into the water
Do you hear me calling?
Let us carry on our songs

—

Oh, hear me, but heed my message
For I can not fly too far out from shore
Hear the beating of my wings
The beating of my heart
I try to send these messages
But they fade upon the wind
And yes I hear you calling
But only as you rise
Struggling to breathe
Rising for a moment

Now the breeze is gentle
Let it carry me to you
So you can hear my birdsong
Let me hover by your sanctuary
And land upon the waves
To reconcile this disconnect
To let us both be brave
I thought I heard you calling me
I felt the sullen pulse awaken
And become tidal in its awe
To shake the dormant shores
Where I rest, to be saved

—

Can you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Let us carry on our songs
