The forest covers the land
It spreads out forever
In all directions, in all ways
The forest does not sever
I walk through the darkness
And look up at the stars
I feel a tear crawling down
As I hear the sound of cars
Reality returns once more
And I'm back amongst the trees
I cry out with a yearning sigh
Yet nothing near my eye sees.
My heart cries out to the world
I yearn for the light once more
But I have a ways to go till then
I shall be weary and my feet sore.
The stars are my only companions
Till I hear another cry out there
Not quite as loud as mine, muffled
Hidden by the trees with great care.
I hear the cry though all of the others
Pass by without a care in the world
I can't help but hear the cry
Since it is my greatest dream unfurled.
I want so badly to yell and scream
Return the cry that is music to my ears
Yet the jungle holds me back
Eternal silence is one of my greatest fears.
I run, I pounce, I make all the noise I can
Yet my mouth stays silent to all of the cries
What can I say? What can I do?
The jungle holds me back, and my soul dies.
