Nightingale

Into the red

(That's not a picture of a nightingale, I didn't find any on Vocal)

Alightening light under that red night

And a song from that inconspicuous bird ;

Today I dream I would one day ungird

To get to the ground, then start a big fight.

Hearing that cool singing helps me to find

A way to get stronger and boost what's mine ;

I see over the sea some trend to shine

Even if I'm still stuck into my rind.

I love my flying friend when I do think

Of a bright future, straying my worries ;

I should be gratefull and give hir cherries

For the comfort helping me not to sink.

Sing ! Sing ! Nightingale !

I will take the scale.

Fly ! Fly through the gale !

You're hale over vale.
