Free Flight
Two birds on a wire
testing each other's fire
The lights of the airport
pass before my weary eyes
Sifting out where my future lies
Evaluating my current ties
We run to keep up
holdin' feelings inside
Reaching out in our lives
Holding each other tightly
In our weary souls
trying to fill in the wholes
Holding out our hearts
looking for a fresh start
Holding each other's hand
Wondering why the other has not ran
rlm '07
This one came to me sitting on a delayed flight out of Raleigh, NC
