Bird on a Wire

I am a bird on a wire

Watching the world from above

An observer, completely unnoticed

Someone no one seems aware of.

Below me, the people of the city

Take no notice, they all fail to see

The observer who takes in everything

It is true, no one notices me.

I've witnessed all the deeds of mankind

All the sins people just want to cover

But when something happens to expose them

They turn around and blame one another.

I find myself wishing I could help them

Show them guidance before its too late

Forgiveness and redemption are seldom

They are sealing their own tragic fate.

If only one chance I was given

To help the world, 'for it catches fire

I know I could help, became I've seen it all

Because I am a the bird on a wire.
