Placed some grains on the parapet wall
the sparrows came near the wall
saw this way and that way in fear
could there be anyone around?
Stood a little away from the wall
they perched themselves on the wall
saw this way and that way in fear
could there be anyone around?
They picked the grains from the wall
one by one they flew from the wall
saw this way and that way in fear
could there be anyone around?
The necessity drives one to the wall
who struggles to get over the wall
forces one to see this way and that way
could there be anyone around?
Life is ours all the same
others are there only in name
clear the mind out of fear
there could be no one around.
