Shephard's Song

At first I wondered why they only speak to each other
It took me some time to understand that
They cannot see or hear any of the crowd
After observing their childlike behaviour, I understood they
Were two little children stuck in the bodies of grown-ups

They knew about the sun
And at some point, right before the break of the day
They could see me, not knowing that I come from the outside

On the seventh day, she looked up at me and said, "I am lady"
And the boy said, "I am bird but I cannot fly"
