lyrics

i see a seagull in the distance
i watch him make his way to sea
he’ll take the path of least resistance
and with the wind beneath his wings
he’ll fly on free

and there’s a strange intense resemblance
in how he lives to you
beautiful and elegant
and absolutely optimistic

he’s been out fishing for his breakfast
he’ll go out fishing for his tea
he’ll fill his throat to feed his chicklings
they won’t go hungry easily, no more

and there’s a strange intense resemblance
he glides across the breeze
climbing on the gusty winds
and bathing in the sun’s reflection

with great and skillful confidence
he travels home with ease
back and forth each day to please
himself and feed his family

he crawls back to his bird wife
at the end of each long day
his baby seagulls miss him
every time he goes away

they cuddle up and laugh together
the bad times disappear forever
until tomorrow
he’ll have to face his fears again
like being yelled at or shot by the people in the bay
they’ll do anything to make him go away
