I sit at the beach and watch birds go by
Oh to be a bird that can feel the whole sky
Oh to fly oh to fly
And to feel the free air
Not a worry or shackle to hold it in fear
Fully detached and let go
They only need to feel then they go
Flying high in the sky so free and so whole
Oh to fly oh to fly
What a joy it would be
I can sit and watch for hours
This is a blessing to me
For at least I can watch as they soar oh so free
And feel nothing but joy for them no pain or envy
For a moment I am with them
Almost carried in their wings
Oh to fly oh to fly
What a beautiful gift
The universe just holds them and watches them sway
As they fly above the waves
And let the wind carry them away
Where they go physically we know that much is true
But where their souls go and experience
I guess we will never see
Nor feel
And that’s the freedom that comes with the flight
No fighting the currents
Just flying with pure sight
The intention to survive and be free
Is all they have
Until they don’t and they’re gone but to me they will last
It’s incredible this gift
Transient and so fragile
Yet so strong and forgiving
To me such pure living
Feeling life in its splendour and all it’s simplicity’s
Away from our thoughts and all our complex intricacies
Oh to fly oh to fly
I’m amazed everyday
How they just ride through the waves
Of the wind and it’s ways
What a beautiful gift I say yet again
For a moment I’m free with them
Yet again I will say
That I am whole and complete
And just as wholly I am free
It is time for me
I have healed and now I dream
Oh to fly oh to fly
My soul soars the skies
With the birds and the wind
I no longer hear the cries
That old me is dead , finished and depleted
He has done his job but now done
Six feet under
I am free as the sun
Oh to fly oh to fly
What a beautiful gift
Oh to fly oh to fly
My souls has been lifted
