Thousand Lanterns - Cielo (I Was A Bird Once) lyrics

I was a bird once/
Flight unlimited Absent from what the sun had done Fell from a tree and caught my first buzz/ Sweet bliss up in my wingspan Hadn't been corrupted by nightmares then Roamed high and far for food Still a hustle now, as it was back when/then I could feel beauty in all things Fight these memories/ Before pollution stole my oxygen Eons ago when innocence was friend I'd float all day long with some of my homies/ ‘Cuz that's all we knew No politics/ No system We were one Summer made us remember our birth So pure Mother Nature nourished us Supreme definition of love Gave herself purely such that we was/ Then these humans came They stole our homes Tried to rape my Mother & call her their own Some of my family died From a liquid that stole their ocean They tried to save ‘em but the damage was done/ Now they all watch these boxes/ What the hells up in those boxes Got ‘em actin' crazy/ k**in' eachother over those boxes/ Wish I could show ‘em where I came from My view it was abundant Everything pieced together so perfectly Now it's all stale and barren Heard ‘em try to ridicule my brain man/
Funny they say that, but I'm the one that's peaceful
Now what's up with your brain man?
Someone told me the world was ending/
Seems she's just beginning Hook We were all birds once/ But flight has ended too much war/yeah/ When will they mend it/
We were all birds once/ But flight has ended too much war/yeah/ When will we mend it I lived on Earth once But life has ended
Too much war, when will we end it? Even here as a human/ They stole my home All these corportions/ No where left to roam And like Rome they implode Stars and strapped with gats
Projectin' these demons within No enemy but self from down here it's hell LGBTQ still a lesser When will y'all learn lesson Nothin' means a thing 
Except meaning you bring/
So why such hatred?
Youth k**in' themselves to find Heaven
Calm them voice witihin I know those pains Battle myself every AM Re-examin' my thoughts After I did ‘em Can't even talk about my upbringing without crying/ But it gets better Love thyself Happiness comes from within Even if these advertisements prove otherwise/ Money, that root of all evil/ Lead me from route to all evil.
reincarnate me thru pencil Bless my Grandmoms
She taught me dedication Eons ago when innocence was friend I wrote all day long ‘cuz I had no homies No politics & no system We are one Summer remind me of birth, so pure/ Moms nourished us/ Supreme definition of love Gave herself purely such that we was Heard ‘em try to ridicule my pen man/
Funny y'all say that/ When I'm the one that's peaceful Someone told me the world was ending/
Seems she's just beginning
