A young earth sparrow sits in the lowest branches of a tree
Looks up to the mighty spirit eagle high above, and says ‘I wish that was me’
The mighty spirit eagle fixes the sparrow with its beady eyes
‘Hey little sparrow know I can hear your cries’
‘For you to be like me, you must lose all traces of your humanity’
‘I was once as you, and after many lifetimes I finally flew’
‘I reached these highest branches eventually … and realised I am you and you are me’
