See my understanding eyes I practice in the mirror so I know they look right This, I fear, may be a bitter path Lean into the gravity and land You won’t budge, oh, mountainside Oh, redwood tree whose roots run wide and Should you bend, you snap right back Unchanged except stronger, perhaps You’re just a blue jay You just push and take Impose your will again See these hands They smell of books Mischievous and underfoot and I will cross your snowy peaks I’ll roll your stones and leap your streams You’re just a blue jay You just push and take Impose your will again You won’t change It’s like blood from a stone The blood will be my own Blue jay-jay Just push and take You jay-jay Just push and take Impose your will again
