i have to fly

"If I was a bird,I would fly high over the world, Come home at night to your garden, Build a nest among the branches, And I'll comb your hair with my beak. If I was a bird, I would count my time in pearls, Under my wings you'll find shelter, You'll breed bugs and keep me well fed. But you wanted me to be a boy, Without feathers without urge, Then my wings quick dissappeared, And left was only fear, And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly."
