Ostrich (Eddie Biggins)

Some days I wish I were an ostrich With my head buried in the sand Just a plain and simple ostrich Unconcerned with the foibles of man I would hide and the world would not exist To my Struthionidae mind I would live in uneducated bliss Unaware of the cruel and unkind

If only I could be an ostrich Just ignoring all that unrest Oh to be a clueless ostrich Maybe then I would not feel so stressed From the violence and negativity On the socials and on the news From the hate and the lack of empathy That so many of us seem to choose

Yeah, yeah, I do know that an ostrich Doesn’t hide out in that way It’s a metaphoric ostrich Telling me to take a day And tune out all the noise and all the strife Get some rest and renew my soul Then get back to what’s important in my life Till again I start losing control

And then I’ll wish I were an ostrich With my head buried in the sand...
