Fly Away

Fly away When the words sting like a bee And confusion grows like a tangled weed. When the wall inside gets higher and higher Fly away, fly away. When the respect dissolves like sugar in water And you cannot see it anymore Fly away, fly away. When what you think is love, feels like hate And you see yourself hiding, in places invisible Fly away, fly away. When you second guess yourself But your instincts like lightening, strike And tug at your gut that something is wrong Fly away, fly away. If you think you have no wings, you do! The wings are the courage That carried you this far. The vast open skies are waiting For you to Drink some water. Let down that wall. Follow your instincts. And fly away, fly away. Heidi Sands

Heidi, Your "fly away, fly away" drumbeat adds imperative to fleeing a poor relation. Love the inspiration in "the courage that carried you this far." Nice. Thanks, Dave
