When I was little all I wanted to do was fly Like angels in the bible Or like Peter Pan With a little bit of faith, trust And lots of pixie dust
When I was a bit older I dreamed of being like a bird While looking out of the classroom window Not wanting to return home I could spread my wings and protect myself And fly Just fly
One day I tried to fly When I launched myself off my balcony But gravity pulled me down and red liquid blossomed from my knee While tears stained my cheeks "What were you doing?" My mom yelled I hiccuped through my crying "I just wanted to fly."
I am standing on the edge 150 feet up in the air I try not to think of it as falling I imagine myself finally flying And feeling the wind rush across my face and leave me flushed I spread my arms and imagine wings And let go All to fly
"Falling is just like flying except there's a more permanent destination."- James Moriarty
