Chapter one
ย
Robin woke one morning
Broke his fast with a worm
Tried flying on his commute
But he floundered and fell to the ground
Realised that his wings didn't work
Lying down on the ground
Saw the flowers were nice from below
Hedgehog came wandering to him
"You don't look right," Hedgehog said
Picking the dirt off his spines
"I know who will fix this for you
Go and find Mole"
ย
He looked up, saw the boy
Offered the flowers to him
"Keep them for you, you've only got you"
He said with a bang, hะต was gone
Who was the boy?
Who was the boy?
Who was thะต boy?
Chapter Two
Robin spent the morning
Hopping to find Mrs. Mole
Knew that she was struggling to find
The good that a mole could bring
Who's this smiling boy
Grinding out a meal?
Wished he'd be a good, kind mole
He might want to eat meat
ย
She looked straight into his eyes
Tears rolling into her ears
Maybe I'm better just being a daughter
Although she couldn't deny wanting the boy
Wanting the boy
Wanting the boy
Wanting the boy
Wanting the boy
Chapter Three
Mrs. Mole wiped her tears away
Looked at Robin's broken wings
"What do you expect a mole to fix?
Go and find Deer."
Robin dragged his body
Through the forest into ground
Knew that Deer lived a solitary life
Couldn't find a print on the ground
Robin sunk down to the earth, and mud pulled him gradually in
"Who am I to think that my selfish genes should keep going on?
Can I be the father
Like I dreamt I might?"
Robin looked up, saw a hoof
Trying to get up to the ground
"Help me Deer, please, help me Deer"
He reached his wings to the deer
Deer looked down, he liked to be alone (I won't try to)
With a sigh, he gave him a lift (fly)
"I knew it was you, I'm glad it was you" (I won't try to)
He knew from now he'd be alone (fly)
I won't try to fly
I won't try to fly
I won't try to (I knew it was you, I hoped it was you)
Fly (from then he knew he was the one)
I won't try to (I knew it was you, I hoped it was you)
Fly (from then he knew he was the one)
Wanting the boy
Wanting the boy
Wanting the boy
Wanting the boy
