Little Silver Birds

All the people stuck behind deadbolts and steel plate
You're shut off from the noise outside
You couldn't leave if you tried
Because it's pointless, it's worthless to deny that you are scared
All the fences, all the walls we build will never fall

I am in love with the chance that we all could do better than we do
The lonely and the broken, all the people forgotten
Let nobody tell you that your heart was
wrong

Send me little silver birds to keep the promise that you made
One hundred thousand tiny lights for all of us who feel the same
and all the fences and
all the walls we build will one day maybe fall

Sam Herlihy, 2006
