Overcome

When I hear the songs about the
Bluebirds flying about
Over the rainbow
In the great big sky

A series of feelings
Stream from my heart
It’s my life story told
In a lullaby

Raised in shambles
As I grew up
My family broke down
Walking past the mansions of my dreams
With their prosperous owners walking
So elegantly, so perfectly


It was all I could do

To not think of them as gods

The invisible border of my home city
Drew a thin line between you and me
You, with your satin, diamonds and rubies
I, with my ripped filth they call clothes

I, an earthling

You, a bluebird
Your impressive education
And wealthy lineage
Gets you all you want in life

While my unlucky circumstances
And my pathetic life
Was nothing but obstacles I have yet to
Overcome

Why do I have to be an earthling?
To stay on the ground and miss out on life?

Why can’t I fly the winds like you?
